The spellers were Harry Altman, Angela Arenivar, Ted Brigham, April DeGideo, Neil Kadakia, Nupur Lala, Emily Stagg, and Ashley White.

[11] Kenneth Turan, the film critic for the Los Angeles Times said “Spellbound was one of the first unheralded documentaries to do well at the box office”.

[12] The films distributor THINKFilm noted “Spellbound was a milestone from which there would be no turning back”... “since then, the box office records for documentaries have been broken countless times”.

In exploring an odd American subculture, it also paints a remarkably detailed picture of modern life in all its glory and eccentricity”.

[15] The website's critical consensus states, "A suspenseful, gripping documentary that features an engaging cross section of American children”.

[12] Inspired by his own experience as a person who stutters, Blitz then wrote and directed dramatic feature film Rocket Science.

Rocket Science tells the story of Hal Hefner, a fifteen-year-old stutterer who joins his school's debate team when he develops a crush on its star member.

[17] Speaking to The Stuttering Foundation, Blitz described one moment he kept in mind as he wrote the film: his first high school debate tournament.

[22] The episode featured one of the series most memorable cold opens in which Dwight stages a fake fire that leads to Stanley having a heart attack.

[28] From 2014 to 2017, Blitz was executive producer/director/writer of the Comedy Central series Review, which he co-adapted and was co-showrunner with Andy Daly whom he has known since high school in Ridgewood, New Jersey.

The New Yorker described it as an “agitating, legitimately funny, and surprisingly profound sitcom”[30] while GQ called it “The funniest, bleakest, truest show you're not watching”.

[32] The Atlantic said “In an era of peak television that's expanded storytelling horizons beyond the formulaic, flooding the medium with characters that aren't traditionally likable, Andy Daly’s Review stands out”.

[50] Across 2017 & 2018 Blitz produced and directed the pilot for the NBC sitcom Trial & Error starring John Lithgow in its first season and Kristin Chenoweth in its second.

[51] Vanity Fair said “Trial & Error derives its comedy from a magnetic combination of extreme silliness and highbrow allusion”.

[52] Variety called it “a lighthearted, zany spoof of shows like “The Jinx” and “Making a Murderer,” those true-crime documentary series that take a viewer into the real-time investigation of a convoluted cas.

[57] The film captures the experience of six second-graders in Brooklyn as they're treated to a seven-course tasting menu at Daniel and was listed in the Top 10 videos of the year for the NY Times website.

It was released in 2017 and stars Anna Kendrick, Craig Robinson, June Squibb, Lisa Kudrow, Stephen Merchant, Wyatt Russell, and Tony Revolori.

[64] Upon getting blocked on a word, Blitz would turn the sentence around in his head searching for a synonym or good punch line to capture his thoughts.

[64] This struggle lead to an extensive vocabulary by necessity, and a penchant for finding absurd humor in mundane life, skills that would ultimately be a great foundation for writing and directing.
