Passion = Truth? How Jeffrey James Francis Ircink Sees The World? I love when people are passionate about something. That surging of emotion is the one honest measure of what truth is. It's a truthful display of how a person really feels about something or someone at that particular moment. That passion IS truth.

PASS THE SALT, PLEASE hits Orlando! It's "Outrageous!"

Here's our listing. They've got Max's name in place of Tat's name. ;) 7 pm at Theater 12. One of the directors of this festival saw PTSP at the Palm Springs Shortsfest Film Festival and contacted Tatjana, asking her if we'd be interested in screening in Orlando.

Austin Film Festival...with a sidetrip to Dripping Springs!


Off to the Austin Film Festival today. Seems I'm 171 years too late to experience the Austin as pictured above. Oh well.....first things first. Or...maybe that postcard is Dripping Springs?? My high school friend and co-executive producer of our short film, PASS THE SALT, PLEASE, Art Edstrom, is picking me up at the airport and taking me to his home in Dripping Springs, population = 2,000. Gateway to the Hill Country. Home of Jesse James (the guy on TV). And the springs don't drip...they trickle. Steadily.


Heading to Austin Thursday morning thru Sunday and back to DS for a Monday return to Milwaukee. Will try and keep you up to speed as to the goings-ons at AFF.
