The Metro Weekly recently ran an article about the films being screened at the DC Shorts film festival and, lo and behold, Purgatory, Inc. is praised yet again, this time as “sardonically delightful” and other words I am too busy to read. Don’t get me wrong; I’m happy for them, but have I been invited to festivals? Have I heard my name screamed by adoring fans? Have I gotten little shiny bags full of free knickknacks I will never use? I imagine this is what the filmmakers are experiencing, as I can only guess, while I diligently do my duty. With no help. From anyone.

As if I didn’t have enough work, I now have to sort and file yet ANOTHER film festival acceptance letter, this time from the DC Shorts Film Festival (September 8-15, for those of you interested).

Purgatory, Inc. was just nominated for Best Comedy Short at the Long Beach Q Festival! While I hardly think my life constitutes a “comedy,” this is very exciting news for a number of reasons. 781, to be exact. I have a list here, somewhere…
It seems my…controversial…handling of the Christopher McNamee case has garnered even more attention-but this time, the good kind! The Long Beach Q Festival has accepted the short film based on my experiences for exhibition! I haven’t been this excited since my egress from the custodial arts. See the exhibition time under “Laugh Your Shorts Off” [...]
As you may know, a short film based on my early experiences as a clerk was produced a few earth months ago. Apparently, the living have found my story quite engaging. The film has just been accepted into something called the Flagstaff Film Festival, which I’m told is something of an honor among the living. [...]
It really is wonderful to get recognition for one’s work. Moving people through to the next stage of their non-corporeal existence is exciting, of course, but every once in a while it’s nice to have your work acknowledged. You can read another positive performance review here.
Got an interesting note today. It seems one of the living took it upon himself to review my job performance and, of course, found it exemplary. I have said it before and will say it again: I am very well qualified for this position. But it is always nice to hear that people appreciate your [...]
