So thrilled that “Gratitude Jar Time Capsule” will be included in the upcoming Australian “Over The Fence Film Festival” which will be celebrating its 25th year!

The fun starts in Perth May 6, 7, & 8, and tours the country until November. Once the exact schedule it announced, I’ll post it here. (And privately YEARN to attend in person!)

I had the honor of being the co-writer, co-director and co-star of the film “A Bit of Counseling” which won “Most Popular Film” at the Over The Fence Festival in 2009, so this festival holds a special place in my heart.

Thank you OTF Fest, and congrats on 25 years!

So thrilled that our short comedy film “Gratitude Jar Time Capsule” won “Best Comedy Television Pilot” at the 2020 Atlanta Comedy Film Festival!

The festival was chock-full of wonderful and original films, all so entertaining and impressive. My co-creator Stephanie Erb and I were really thrilled to even be nominated, honestly. But to win was such an honor and a thrill! Thanks to everyone involved in making the festival happen during this challenging year, when we need to laugh more than ever.

So thrilled to announce that my short film “Gratitude Jar Time Capsule” (co-created with Stephanie Erb) is an official selection in the Pittsburgh Shorts Film Festival and the Atlanta Comedy Film Festival!

Pittsburgh Shorts Film Festival will be virtually streamed November 11-22, and Atlanta Comedy Film Festival is a one-day virtual (and limited in-person) event on December 6. Get your tickets today!

Filmed just before the world shut down, I helped create three comedy shorts with the talented Stephanie Erb, Ben Solenberger, and his amazing team of creatives under the “Short Smirks” umbrella. These two-to-three minute funnies are made just to make you laugh.

I had the pleasure of writing “Quantum Hallway,” in which two women wait for a restaurant bathroom in a hallway which might also be a quantum portal:

And here’s “Visitation” which was penned by Stephanie Erb:

And here’s “Gratitude Jar Time Capsule,” written by both me and Stephanie:

Excited about having shot these sketches with talented actress/writer Stephanie Erb! We had an outstanding crew, and were blessed with the unstoppable force that is Ben Solenberger as producer. We’ve just shot the first three “Short Smirks” and stay tuned for how to view them….

The wonderful fans of NPR’s comedy quiz show “Says You!” have done it again: this weekend’s tapings (in front of live audiences) are sold out!

Get your copy of singer/songwriter Brian Woodbury’s new album “Levity & Novelty” today! It’s chocked full of wonderful, quirky, clever tunes, one of which — “Perfectly Awful” — features yours truly! You can even purchase the track I’m on separately, FOR ONLY $1, y’all.

Give it a listen below, and if you’d like to add it to your digital library for a buck (or even buy the whole amazing CD for only $20!) you can click the “buy” button below, or visit here, on Brian’s website. There are 27 songs on the album, so if you buy the whole thing, you’re saving $7, so that’s not nothing. In that scenario, you’d be saving and also simultaneously supporting cool artists like Brian. Doesn’t that give you a warm squishy feeling?
