I’m Jim Harmon…and you’re not.
So you’ve found your way to this random person’s website or perhaps you’re a friend? Well, good to have you. My name is Jim Harmon and I’m a writer and director of those crazy things that Hollywood produces, what are they called? Oh yeah, movies! Right now I make shorts, based off of sketches, most of which I have written, some, that other people have done. I plan to write for Film or TV and hopefully directing comes along with the package as I am I a big fan of following through on my vision, but hey, we don’t always get our way right?
On my little site here you can find my resume, links to some of my video projects and more in the above navigation buttons. On the right there’s a link to add me as a MySpace friend, which is a good thing to do because that’s where I post updated videos and events. Good times! Now go do something with your life.
The Throwing Show - Best comment ever!
There’s been plenty of great comments over the past couple of years, but this one from YouTube takes first place!
MadHater1: THAT WAS SOO FUCKING FUNNY!!
The all caps and extra exclamation point prove that The Throwing Show really is the funniest thing ever invented, in 2008, between the hours of 2 and 4pm, on the first Saturday of the Spring Solstice.

Man vs. Wild Parody & Executive Privilege Online!
So I’ve uploaded a mini-episode of Man vs. Wild on Funny or Die. This project was a lot of fun and is definitely a love it or hate it type of thing for the viewer. If you love the show, you’ll love this, if you hate the show or don’t watch it, you might not get some of the jokes. I’ve also included last week’s project in this post, George Bush talking about Executive Privilege.
A Beautiful Life
Hi everyone,
So I started production on “A Beautiful Life” last week, my first full commitment to a feature film. First off, features are a whole different bag of apples, everyone has a specific job and they all do it well. Nice and professional but a little stagnatic on the whole community learning process. Denise Richards and Michael Madsen are in this thing, but so far I’ve been impressed by the two leads, Angela Sarafyan and Jesse Garcia. They’re so nice and very, very talented.
On this film I am a Key Set PA, which is a glorified title for a PA who’s attached to the set by the hip. Considering everything else I have done has either been me directing or ADing, this has been quite an adjustment for my ego, but I thought it was important to work on at least one feature and try to learn something from people that have been doing this for years instead of working with my peers and learning as we go. I’m not sure if I made the right decision, lol, being a PA is a pretty thankless job but at least it has strengthened my passion for making my own movies.
OPP
Hi everyone,
I just wrapped my days on Other People’s Parties. Good times! I wish I was able to finish out the shoot because the crew was so much fun. But alas, Denise Richards awaits.

The Moonlit Road
So I just finished my first day on the short The Moonlit Road, directed by Leor Baum. I was 2nd AD and got to spend some time being a 1st which was a lot of fun. I am looking forward to getting back behind the camera for my own projects though, but that will come in time. It’s crazy how many people want to direct, it seems like if you’re not an actor then you want to be a director, or both. I guess I’m not much different since I want to write and direct, luckily I’m happy keeping my mug behind the camera.
Unacceptable Recorded!
As if by the hand of God, George Bush’s “Unacceptable” has been recorded. Now shooting will begin!
