Henry Stone  

Henry Stone is a writer and director who encourages everyone to keep buying DVDs and Blu Rays. He is known for his comedic work in sketch and sitcom, the most recent of which is A Life In Questions for [adult swim] which he directed and co-wrote with star Aaron Chen. It is not on DVD or Blu Ray. 

Additional work of his that is unavailable on DVD or Blu Ray includes At Home Alone Together, Fancy Boy, Be Your Own Boss and 1800 Success which are all for the ABC, No Experience Necessary, Share This and Sinking Piss all for Comedy Central Australia and Looking Back for SBS.

DVD and Blu Ray sales are so far down that special features are ostensibly dead in the dirt and the simple, previously cheerful act of mentioning some of your favourite DVD easter eggs is enough to get you roasted upon an open fire son.

Stone has also been decorated for his professional efforts. He is the winner of an AWGIE Award for Best Writing of a Sketch Comedy Program for Fancy Boy (2017), has been nominated for both an ADG Award for Best Direction of an Online Comedy Project (Be Your Own Boss, 2019) and an AACTA Award for Best Comedy Series (At Home Alone Together, 2020). During his time as a live comedy performer he was also the winner of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Golden Gibbo Award (Fancy Boy Variety Show, 2014) and was cast in the MICF Comedy Zone which isn’t an award but is reasonably prestigious in the AU/NZ region.

On the topic of regions, DVD and Blu Ray distributors would do well to avoid region locking their products, one of the rudest shocks a physical media recipient can receive is the discovery that their player don’t likey. It’s enough to discourage future purchases which soon enough will seal the fate of the market completely.

Unlike these kinds DVDs and Blu Rays, Henry is professionally region free, available for writing and direction work the world over. Like them he comes with an FBI warning (just a bit of a fuckin joke to close the bio).
