Tough Times Here in Farm Country....

Times are tough...

I don't know what I'm going to do.

I want to keep plugging away on my films....but it's hard when you're close to broke, unemployed, and having no revenue coming in....plus, on top of things, out here in the boonies...farm country...there's no jobs. Unemployment's nuts here....

We're in pre-production for the feature version on PHONE SEX GRANDMA....trying to figure out ways to raise production funds, while getting everything lined up for the shoot....trying to generate income by selling PHONE SEX GRANDMA online at Createspace, along with our new feature compilation THE X-RATED GRANDMA...and trying to figure out different ways to make money out here on the foundation we've built....

It's really something....I've got 5 short films exploding on the festival circuit...am an award-winning filmmaker....have a short film that over a million people have seen around the world...have fests and audiences worldwide demanding more films...but cannot make a dime with them. I must be doing something wrong. Looks like I need some help; but I don't know where to go.

And things continue....tonight, PHONE SEX GRANDMA plays another fest...this time, returning to NYC at NewFilmmakers for a special Valentine's screening....several fests already lined up this Spring for many of our shorts....

I've just got to find a way to make some money off what we've created these last 4 years....

I need help.

Attached below is info for tonight's NYC screening of PHONE SEX GRANDMA. And you can always own PSG and support our filmmaking by purchasing the short on Createspace at:

Any ideas?

For Irwin, there are 'women' and then there are 'girls': women want to get married and girls just want to have fun. For the single Anny there are three types of men: married, gay and idiots. Polish polka bars, confusing self help books and a mythical hooker that never sleeps with her clients, confound their American journey.
