The person behind the punchline
A little backstory.
Mike Diva is an American director and visual effects artist whose comedy work includes filmed sketches for Saturday Night Live. Born Michael Brenton Dahlquist, he developed a style built around elaborate effects, vivid imagery and abrupt shifts in tone, bringing the techniques of music videos and advertising into comedy.
Diva directed The Lonely Island’s Netflix project The Unauthorized Bash Brothers Experience, a musical parody centered on baseball players Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire. His other work includes music videos and the darkly comic Halo Top commercial Eat the Ice Cream. He began developing his filmmaking and effects work through online videos.
