Todd writes and directs videos - mostly comedy and documentary, or some combination of the two. He is currently Creative Director for UCB Comedy. Previous to this he worked at the Onion News Networks during their Peabody Award Winning year. One time Todd found a role of film in Brooklyn that led him on a worldwide search for the owner. He documented his experience and TIME Magazine called it “Youtube’s Greatest Adventure” and ABC News called him a “real life international man of mystery.” His work has been featured in several film festivals including Sundance, SXSW, Tribeca, and AFI. His video/film work has been watched over 25 million times and has been featured on New York Times' website, Entertainment Weekly's website, Huffington Post, and his Mom's Facebook Wall. brooklynfoundfilm [at] gmail [dot] com

Here is a video I directed.
Living in New York, we’ve all been in this situation - it’s late nights, there are drunks on the train, and a homeless person has settled into a subway car for a night’s rest. Always a bad combination. Check out this hilarious Animated Story: I’d Rather Take the Train by Anthony Atamanuik and Rory Panagotopulos
Here is a video with examples of the shitty local commercials I used to make. Watch it.

A true story written and told by Dave Hill. Animation created and directed by Patrick Mahoney & Caitlin Downing.
In May 2011 I decide to illegally grow a vegetable garden on a neglected patch of land in Brooklyn. While tending the garden this summer I encountered a thief, a dirty old man, and GOD — as documented in this follow up video.
Here’s a video I directed. It has some of my favorite UCB people in it. Dru Johnston, Dan Klein, Pam Murphy, Sue Galloway, Emily Axford and Zach Woods of The Office.

Same subject. Different name. Better show.

For two years Todd Bieber lived a secret life. A bizarre legal contract forced him to make shitty local commercials in rural Pennsylvania and he’s never told anyone about it until now. (Though chances are you’ve seen his handy work - as it aired up and down the east coast) From directing a ten-year-old dressed as James Bond to turning a car into a photoshopped helicopter - come hear the true stories about how Todd got into (and eventually out of) the seedy underworld of local televisions commercials. Watch the final commercials, see the outtakes, and find out how these ridiculously horrible commercials got made.
The first story/animation from Animated Stories the show I’m hosting at UCBeast in New York City.
