Writer-director-actor-editor duo Peter Blomquist and Jeff Wiens comprise the entertainment entity known as Franco and Billy LLC. Sometime before the turn of the millennium, Peter and Jeff began making short movies that were shown at various underground late-night events in NYC and Los Angeles.

In 2003, they made a short action film called Whalebone, which was a finalist in the New York City Moviemaking Madness Competition and was subsequently screened around the country.

In 2005, Peter and Jeff shot their own television pilot, The Independents, which was an official selection at the 2005 Vail Film Festival. In 2006, Peter and Jeff won the Independent Film Channel's Shorts Down Under competition, a short film contest sponsored by Tourism Australia and IFC. They were then sent to Australia to shoot a comedic web-series called Chasing Paradise.

In addition to online entertainment, their live show, The Franco & Billy Show has enjoyed runs at the Under St. Marks Theatre (NY) and Upright Citizen's Brigade Theatre (NY). It was selected to perform as part of the 2007 NY Comedy Festival's Longest Sketch Show Ever also at UCBT (NY). New York press said of the show: "The parallels between the Franco and Billy Show and Monty Python are undeniable. They are both sometimes surreal, sometimes historical, and sometimes completely incomprehensible. They toss film clips, music and sketch comedy into a single puke-colored but delicious stew."
