The Manny Book

When it comes to promoting a book, Michael Jaffe and Jay Peterson’s The Manny is about as creative as it gets. Based on the novel by Holly Peterson (Jay’s cousin), this 3-minute clip boasts exceptionally high production value, a Hall & Oates satire by Grammy Award-winning producer Scott Jacoby, T.V. personality Karen Duffy, and a midget. Think of it as Desperate Housewives, Park Avenue style.
“In general, we were just trying to make something funny,” says Jaffe. “We did the shoot over 3 days and it went smoothly. The weather was great, the actors were all patient and easy to work with. We did have the Sunday Styles writer Allen Salkin there for one day and a producer from 20/20 on set another day, which were both fun distractions.” For more of Jaffe’s work is available on YouTube. More information about the book can be found on its MySpace page.
