1977 – PRESENT

CAST: Jason Kraynek

LOCATION: North America….so far

PROJECT: Improv Comedy, Sketch Comedy, Vlog, Archive Video

I’ve always considered myself to be a performer in some sense’s, and for as long as I can remember I have always entertained myself if not anyone else. Starting with performing magic tricks to my family, recording radio shows on my tape deck, live concerts in my backyard, GIjoe action movies, or whatever- i have always kept myself busy. Though back in 1977, everyone didn’t have a video recorder (I being one of those people) so I had to resort to other method’s such as audio tape, drawing, and writing. Since the dawn of me finally getting a VHS camcorder back in 1996ish I have been taping bits- some I have and can one day upload, but most sadly are missing in the years.

Since being turned onto drama my senior year of high school, I have been involved in plays, shows, movies, sketch/improv groups, and things in the middle. When not doing that I resort back to myself, a camera, and a video archive larger then most people know. The one thing that has always remained the same in my life through all these groups I have been a part of is drama, as with life its not intended yet always comes out somehow. My counteraction to that was to do things on my own (as with my photography being a development of nobody to perform with) thus my video collection.

My recent work has stemmed from the creation of youtube in a global setting, unlike myspace- this is actually (most of the time) a site for people of talent, creativity, or something to share with the world. Though I’ve not a fan of the Britney Spears guy- he did do one thing= prove that all you need is a outlet to share with the world and people can see you outside of your zipcode. One of my biggest problems over the years was being seen through all of my groups, we all wanted to be know- yet we didn’t have a national TV show nor the funds to mount a national tour so we were pretty screwed either way. Once youtube became a hit I started to produce self improv pieces called FUKfashion video blogs, I didn’t really care about what they ended up becoming- I mainly just found a welcome release in the fact that I could do something in a day and by the evening show it to people worldwide. It was a incredible experience and one that I hope to continue once I purchase a working camcorder now that mine has took a dump.

I’ve been involved with many sketch groups, all with their share of drama, and have toyed with the idea for a few years now of a “open sketch group”. This is the focus of FUKfashion, a group project that is under my control but I leave open to work with other friends, partners, and writers but always under my say so. I’ve been doing things on the side for years now without really a need to put them into a section until recently as I archive and backlog my work- those things are now under this title. In the coming months I plan to purchase a new camcorder and invite a selected few people into the project from time to time, maybe something else will come of it- but for now I plan to just keep it as my outlet to new work and new submissions.
