Jesse Peretz’s previous feature films are THE CHATEAU, with Paul Rudd and Romany Malco; THE EX, starring Jason Bateman, Zach Braff, Amanda Peet, and Charles Grodin; and FIRST LOVE, LAST RITES, with Giovanni Ribisi and Natasha Gregson Wagner, based on the Ian McEwan short story. On television, he directed an episode of the new HBO series "Girls," and the sketch portions of the first season of the Comedy Central show “Important Things with Demetri Martin,” and has directed scores of award-winning commercials and music videos, including videos for The Breeders, Jack Black, and Jimmy Fallon. The video for the Foo Fighters’ "Learn To Fly" earned Peretz the Grammy Award for Video of the Year. Peretz was the co-creator of the series of MTV on-air promos featuring gregarious Boston cabdriver, Jimmy McBride (played by Donal Logue), which aired in the mid-1990s. In high school, Peretz started the rock band The Lemonheads with classmate Evan Dando, and was the bass player for the group’s first four albums.
