This is a short film I finished in 2006 (and part of the get all my short works online project I am ever so slowly working on). Originally this was a poem entitled Letter to City of Austin, Attention: Customer Rep Susan that I saw performed in Austin, Texas at La Zona Rosa, by the enormously talented Jacob Rakovan. And the actor in the film, Jeffery Mills, was someone I was trying to find the right part for, because I was dying to work with him… That’s how this marriage came to be.
My Electric Bill screened at handful of film festivals and screening series around the country — and I still find Jeffery Mills’ performance really, really strong and hope to find a way to work with him again in the future. Feel free to comment below and let me know what you think about our film.
