Dumb Bunny (Jessica Burstein and Robbie Norris) - Award-winning Writer/Director team Jessica Burstein and Robbie Norris were fierce competitors at MTV when they realized that their offbeat comedy styles were a perfect match. Explosions exploded as they combined forces to form Dumb Bunny and create the MTV campaign, "Don't Cha," which won Promax Awards for Best of Cable in 2007. After directing three hilarious music videos for their electro rock project Turbotronics, Dumb Bunny bypassed their summer vacation in 2008 to write and direct Abbie Cancelled. Robbie is currently directing promos at NBC by day and producing music by night. Jessica is working as a freelance Writer/Director. She is the former Co-President of CineWomen NY and the Writer/Director/Star of the award-winning MFA thesis film, Veronika's Birthday. Dumb Bunny is presently developing feature length screenplays, including one for Abbie Cancelled.
