Honor Student Presents: BANANAS!
LAist loves Honor Student. They are a trio of L.A. funnymen-filmmakers: David's the one with the great hair who makes incredibly realistic masturbation faces. He stars in this installment of "Chasing Donovan", their on-going series of short comedic episodes (they've also done videos for The Mae Shi). Matt and Oz work behind the scenes, and their hair is also not too bad. They are also possibly the only Oklahoman-Dominican directing duo working in the industry today. LAist wishes we could interview them, but they are men of mystery who flee from the paparazzi and only appear in public while fully costumed in the guise of dead presidents. You might be able to track them down at Skooby's in Hollywood, though.
Clip is slightly NSFW for language and banana-related sexual content.
