The Dentist, Mother's Book, and being numb.....

What a day....

I've been over in Pittsburg....you talk about a dead town, in the friggin' boonies of S.E. Kansas...just got back here to Lamar....and just as dead....

Had to come over here to Pittsburg today to go to the dentist and get a tooth filled. The left side of my face is totally numb from novocaine....it'll probably be numb all day. Won't get back out to the shack until later today...and by then, probably'll need to rest off this numbness. We'll see if I can get anything done today. Doesn't look likely...

Wanted to spend today promoting Mother's new STRIPPER book online at http://thoughtsofastripper.webs.com . No time today to work online! Maybe tomorrow...

Gonna try to work her book hard tomorrow. Have about 15 mailings of festival waivers for our hit shorts to put together and send out; get distribution screeners sent out for THE OUTHOUSE, ACCEPTABLE SIN and 60 YEAR OLD STRIPPER to start making distribution money online with those hit fest shorts; gotta pick an Oscar qualifier to have the premiere of our upcoming short PAYDAY LOAN; find time to shoot a little bit of THE OLD STRIPPER documentary; and get pre-production wrapped up for JUNK...

Busy times!

Our new film JUNK on INDIEGOGO:

Living in Dallas....

Sunday, my new hit short film THE OUTHOUSE is having its Texas premiere at a festival in Dallas. I wish I could be there. I just can't make the trip.

It's only about 350 miles from here....a 5-6 hour drive...but I don't have a car, and can't afford it. That's ok,though...

Thinking about my film being in Dallas this weekend brings back some great memories of that city. I lived in Dallas for 2 years from 1988-90. It was a fun time....I had a good job, was starring in plays all over the city, getting laid every other night, getting shit-faced at bars, having season tickets to the Rangers ballpark in Arlington...those were good times.

Good memories...

PHONE SEX GRANDMA Today in NYC

Well, my first film is still playing the festival circuit....

Today, it returns to New York City. It's playing Newfest in Manhattan's AMC Theater this afternoon. I wish I could be there. It's played gay and lesbian festivals before, and the gays go nuts over this little 9 minute short. I wish I could see their reaction in Manhattan today! I bet they go nuts.

It's amazing what's happened with PHONE SEX GRANDMA in just a little over 2 years. It's played over 40 festivals, is still playing the festival circuit, has won top festival awards across the country, over 200,000 people have watched it on YouTube, and it has started my career as a filmmaker. I'm making more films now, and people are already comparing my work to cult film directors. When my new film THE OUTHOUSE played last month in Atlanta, one critic stated, "Jack Truman could be the next John Waters! He is perverse!"

I love it. This is the message I'm trying to get out there. One of my messages, anyway...

Here's PHONE SEX GRANDMA on YouTube. You can watch it for yourself:



PHONE SEX GRANDMA...woo hoo!

THE OUTHOUSE in Louisiana!

Well....I wonder how our film did in Shreveport today?

Our new hit documentary short THE OUTHOUSE played Louisiana's Moviesauce Film Festival today. I'll be finding out from the fest in the next few days how well it did. This is our follow-up short to our hit short comedy PHONE SEX GRANDMA. THE OUTHOUSE premiered in January at the Slamdance Film Festival. Since January, it's played over 10 fests worldwide. This summer, it has screenings already lined up at festivals in Dallas, NYC, and Atlanta, with more to come! And PHONE SEX GRANDMA's still playing the fest circuit. It's a great feeling to know that even though I can't afford to be at the screenings, I can be a poor man, and be making films that's playing worldwide, blowing people's minds!

They haven't seen nothing yet....
