"Pass the Salt, Please" headed to Sydney!

Funny. I couldn't get my play, "Pass the Salt, Please", beyond the semi-finals at Short+Sweet/Sydney, but lo and behold, our short film, Pass the Salt, Please, has been officially selected to the 58th Sydney Film Festival, June 8-21. Here's the link to our film. Short. Sweet. Sydney.

WHOO! That's a prestigious festival, dating back to 1954. All associated with the film feel like pretty little girls in our Easter bonnets. I'm kidding (maybe the director, Tat).

Among the celebs to be represented (on film) at this year's festival: actors - Gael García Bernal, Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster, Michelle Williams, Cate Blanchette, Bruce Greenwood, Will Patton, Brendan Gleeson, Don Cheadle, Paul Giamatti, Peter Mullan; directors - Kevin McDonald, Paddy Considine; producers - Ridley Scott, Tony Scott. And, of course, our contingent - Fionnula Flanagan, Seymour Cassell, Tatjana Najdanovic, Radha Mitchell, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Arthur Edstrom, Diana Jackson, Max Maksimovic and me.

No - I'm not attending. Not this one. Can't hit'em all and I expect there'll be more festival invites (knock on wood). Still...WHOOO!
