Now she and writer Jake Robinson have a new animated short based on the morbidly funny true story of the scattering of Robinson’s grandfather’s ashes – Dad Mud.
Steve, a self-involved 9-to-5-er, attempts an act of charity by taking a homeless man to lunch. However, when his fantasy of charity doesn’t match the reality, the dynamics between the two unlikely “friends” begins to shift.

Thanks to the organizers and volunteers at the Jaipur International Film Festival for the amazing opportunity to have Beef Barley Brothers screened on the other side of the world!
This short film is impossible not to fall in love with.
Dane Clark and Linsey Stewart pack so much comedy and heart into Long Branch that I’d put it right up there with my all-time favourite romantic comedy, The Apartment.
2012 was the 20th anniversary of the $100 Film Festival. A festival very near and dear to my heart.
The festival was originally conceived by a filmmaker named James Morison and, for the 20th installment, he create a new film contemplating the history of the festival, it’s inception and his role in it all.
I don’t think there could be a better tribute to the $100 Film Festival’s anniversary than this film.
You can catch the screening at the George Gerold Opera House on November 9th at 5:30pm in Weyauwega, Wisconsin.
Thanks to all the good people at Weyauwega International Film Festival for putting on this event.
When I can, I like to showcase the other films in the package we will be screening with, but this time my mind was blown!
Beef Barley Brothers will be screening along side a short film written by Neil LaBute and directed by Nathaniel Krause about their own homeless guy and regular guy.
Will they be best friends? Only time will tell.
Also in our program are these sharp-looking films, should be a really great screening:
