Michael Bolton’s Big, Sexy Valentine’s Day Special

I edited Michael Bolton’s Big, Sexy Valentine's Day Special starring Michael Bolton, Andy Samberg, Fred Armison, Sara Silverman, Eric André, Maya Rudolph, and lots of others for Netflix. Franky Guttman also edited.

It is an action-packed comedy posing as variety show. It was directed by Akiva Schaffer (Saturday Night Live, Popstar, Chip & Dale 2022), Hot Rod, The Lonely Island), and Scott Aukerman (Between Two Ferns, Comedy Bang! Bang!)

Here’s a TRAILER I edited for it:

And here’s the FULL SPECIAL:

I also was VFX supervisor and VFX artist. Here’s a clip, which is an homage to a scene from Darkman:

Here are some articles about the special:

Some behind-the-scenes info:

• The phone number that pops up throughout was a working number that you could call for a special voicemail message from Michael Bolton. There were more network notes about the voicemail message than the actual special.

• I once took a quick little shower in the office bathroom and it backed up really, really bad.
