Amir Blumenfeld
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amir Blumenfeld is a 24-year-old comedy writer. Amir was born in Israel on January 18, 1983 and moved to America at the age of two. He lived most of his life in Los Angeles CA. Amir graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 2005. He currently resides in New York.
He is well known for his work and contributions to CollegeHumor. Blumenfeld has written a book with Jeff Rubin, Sarah Schneider, Streeter Seidell, Ethan Trex, and Ricky Van Veen entitled The CollegeHumor Guide to College: Selling Kidneys for Beer Money, Sleeping with Your Professors, Majoring in Communications, and Other Really Good Ideas published by Penguin Group. [1] He's also one half of College Humor's resident Style Guys, along with Streeter Seidell.
Amir is currently in the midst of co-writing another college humor book. This up-coming book is based more on how to survive daily life rather than the college life.
He has his own blog website, Being Famous. Here you can find his personal biography. Before its conversion into Amir's personal blog in April 2005, Being Famous was a website where everyday a different person's photo was featured on the homepage for 24 hours. Thus, they were "Being Famous." The website also features short comedic movies made in Amir's college days. Also before the conversion, daily Snippets were posted. Snippets were 15-75 second clips produced daily. They are no longer on Being Famous but they can be seen here.
Along with many short films he has also made Video Away Messages which are funny clips intended for AOL Instant Messenger users to use as their away message when they leave their computer.
