Hi, I’m Boaz.
I’m a curious person with a diverse range of interests. Depending on the day, I might be an author, filmmaker, gardener, advertising copywriter, teacher, experiential storyteller, talk show host or kazoo museum curator.
You can read about some of my recent projects right here:
I love gardening but I wasn’t finding the gardening content I wanted. So I created my own.
NEXTpittsburgh asked me to come up with a video series. So I decided to tell all of Pittsburgh’s secrets.
What does gardening have to do with time travel, farts and Romans? You can find out on my WQED segment.
My wife and I realized that the more time we spend together, the weirder we get. So we wrote a book about it.
It started as my strange little kazoo collection. Today, it’s a tourist attraction in South Carolina that attracts thousands of people a year.
What happens when you combine soap-on-a-rope, stained glass pickles, QVC and a pinch of holiday cheer? This video series.
After moving to the Netherlands, I became the only non-Dutch-speaking correspondent at RTL.
I was asked to create an interactive experience for a popular Pittsburgh biking event, so I built a game show into a bicycle and used it to build community.
While hunkering down during the COVID-19 pandemic, I did the only thing I could to keep my sanity: I started a morning talk show.
I produced an animated series all about forgetful sheep, depressed quokkas and vomiting flies.
I collaborated with the team at Wieden+Kennedy to encourage kindness on social media through a new video game.
After watching a giant news van drive around Portland one day, I started thinking about whether it might be possible to build a television show into a bicycle.
After moving to Pittsburgh, I wanted to learn more about my new hometown. So I set out to make a documentary in each of Pittsburgh’s 90 neighborhoods.
I love sandwiches and I love podcasts, so I decided to combine my two interests.
What if we created a theme park just for runners? And then we toured it to marathons across the country?
I was bored of daily calendars that had the same thing every day. So I made a calendar that was different every day.
Brooks was launching their most futuristic shoe ever so we created miniature space ships and sent them to 400 runners across the world.
What if we could question the way we think about the arts by selling live performance from a vending machine?
I worked with Twitter to help them teach new users how to find their niche in the Twitterverse.
I gave a voice to beer, cheese and chocolate with creative packaging copy.
Travel Portland asked me to write a zine to introduce visitors to some of the wonderful (and weird) people and places of Portland.
I named a new Hilton hotel while recognizing an inspiring Oregon suffragette.
What if we choreographed a running route that took athletes through the best of New York City in just 5 kilometers?
We were trying to promote testing for prostate cancer when we realized that most men didn’t even know where their prostate was. So we decided to introduce Americans to their angry, ignored prostate.
After learning about one of America’s most endangered insects, I flew to Lincoln, Nebraska to make a documentary and musical about it.
I love road trips and hate driving so I came up with a way to zig-zag across America without getting into a gas-powered car.
