Will Phelps

Because why not?

Jeremy Gerlich and Will Phelps, they run it, and they just make high school comedies for Hulu.

Go check them out.

We've got to check them

And that company is American High, which in less than a decade has produced more than 20 features, most of them for Hulu.

Alongside partner Will Phelps, Gerelich has at the same time built a digital comedy operation with billions of views, landed an assortment of major brand deals, and operated a working film academy out of the company's Syracuse campus.

And now with two major October releases, American High is at an inflection point.

The first of these projects is Rolling Loud, a music festival comedy starring Owen Wilson and Matt Rife that marks the company's biggest wide theatrical release to date.

The people just don't know what to do in towns and cities that have kind of fallen off.

And Syracuse, unfortunately, has gone through a really tough time.

I do feel like it's on a huge resurgence at this point, thanks to Will Phelps.

But I don't even know what we're talking about anymore.
