The Continuing Saga of Irv Blitz

Okay…where do I even begin?

Ian Pfaff, our resident comedian/creative powerhouse….(This is the guy who also has the words “Kuato Lives” spray painted above his fireplace)….has a great respect (which borderlines on obsession) with Irv Blitz. Now, for those of you who aren’t hip to Irv, I’ll say this: GOOGLE HIM…

He is the guru of shooting food. Have you ever seen a food commercial and had your mouth explode with flavor at the mere sight of something like this?

You have? Well….chances are, you’ve been blitzed!

Anyway, as I said, Ian has this unhealthy obsession with….I mean… undying love for Irz Blitz and his superior foodography. So, naturally, Ian decided to make a film to express that love.

FIRST TRIBUTE:

His first film was well received (it was even shown to Irv himself) but Ian wasn’t satisfied.

“After the first video was done, I thought I was done. But as the food dailies began to backflip in, and I absorbed his demo reel, I knew that the Irv Blitz song had to become the “irv blitz album” …Even now, as the foodage continues….so does my passion “

This year, Pfaff was back in the studio with a whole new passion for Irv’s foodtastic genius burning inside him. The result? Pure magic!

SECOND TRIBUTE:

But the story doesn’t end here… Ian received a mysterious package. The life of an assistant editor and “shark diving enthusiast” can be a bit of a bore…Ian was convinced it was some dailies he had been waiting for. But he was wrong…. dead wrong.

It was a huge lightbulb….wtf?

A huge lightbulb from IRV BLITZ!

“Owning the bulb…(he got a little choked up here) owning the bulb puts me in absolute irv bliss “

I gotta say…we were all kind of rooting for him to make this into a trilogy….AND THEN….

HE DID!

THIRD TRIBUTE:

I have two words for Ian…restraining order.
