rich & lozo

In 2004, fresh out of high school, Dollars & Donuts Productions stumbled upon accidental comedic gold with Rich & Lozo. Originally intended as a casual meetup to shoot a film, the plan took a detour when Daryl, Ray, and Snyder decided to prank Lorenzo. Armed with a camcorder and a bogus story about a canceled shoot (thanks to the conveniently “absent” Donny), the trio lured Lozo into what would become an unscripted, chaotic experiment.

Enter Rich, a party animal with zero patience for Lozo’s peculiar mix of bravado and insecurity. Their first interaction, captured on camera, was the birth of an anti-chemistry so hilariously disastrous it practically demanded a sequel. And then three more. While Rich dismissed Lozo as “crazy,” Lozo found Rich equally frustrating, and the two became the most begrudging duo in the Dollars & Donuts roster.

The footage, edited by Daryl into an absurdist, fly-on-the-wall mockumentary, is a raw collision of personalities. Set against the backdrop of El Camino High School, the short showcases inappropriate banter, relentless one-upmanship, and a rivalry teetering between ridiculous and uncomfortable. Rich, the loud, reckless provocateur, clashed spectacularly with Lozo, a wiry, self-proclaimed “nice guy” whose spiraling antics kept the camera rolling.

With its jackass-inspired chaos and avant-garde lack of structure, Rich & Lozo became a cult cornerstone of the Dollars & Donuts ethos.
