2021 Film Festival Success
"Farewell Mr. Baker," a short film that I wrote and produced, is now winning awards at 2021 international film festivals. "Farewell Mr. Baker" is a comedic slapstick short about an inept college professor at his last day on the job.
So far we have been awarded official selection at the LA Comedy Film and Screenplay Festival, the Austin Micro Film Festival, the New York Flash Film Festival, PUFF-MT film fest, and has won honorable mention at the UK Seasonal Short Film Festival.
My mantra during this pandemic:
