X-RATED GRANDMA TO ROCK PARK CITY
Slamdance, Indieroad Team With Truman for Online Event
Lamar, Missouri - The X-Rated Grandma is returning to Park City.
And this time, the whole world can watch.
The Slamdance Film Festival has partnered with Indieroad.net to feature an online event, highlighting a showcase collection of short films of alumni filmmaker Jack Truman as part of Slamdance's annual Park City festival Jan. 15-23, 2009. Truman's first film, the award-winning short mockumentary PHONE SEX GRANDMA premiered at the 2006 Slamdance Film Festival.
THE X-RATED GRANDMA is a compilation of 7 short films of Truman's real-life Mother, Opal Dockery over a 3-year period. Through a combined Slamdance/Indieroad.net site (www.indieroad.net/slamdance), Slamdance will stream a collection of shorts from THE X-RATED GRANDMA throughout the festival period, along with a selection of official festival films. Bringing these short films through the festival online to a worldwide audience for the first time, this groundbreaking partnership will allow audiences the opportunity to see these festival films from a location of their choosing, even if they cannot physically attend.
Truman's films from THE X-RATED GRANDMA will be the only featured short films online during the fest from a Slamdance alumni.
"We're thrilled to return to Slamdance", Truman stated in press materials. "As an indie filmmaker, Slamdance is like the family you never had. And as a short filmmaker, this festival has empowered and brought my extreme alternative films to a worldwide audience. It will be exciting to be a part of this groundbreaking online event during the Park City madness".
The festival runs Jan. 15-23, 2009 in Park City, Utah.

This is a tough life....
Getting older, living in poverty here in the sticks, working odd jobs to make ends meet so we can make our own films our own way, and share them with the world....sometimes, I wonder if all of this is worth it. Because as each day passes, I feel older and my age....
Then there are days like today....
Our new hit short THE OUTHOUSE is playing nationwide today in 3 cities; Atlanta, Palm Springs and Seattle....we just put our new episode of THE X-RATED GRANDMA up here on the internet this morning to share with the world; have 4 festival screenings already lined up next month for THE OUTHOUSE in NYC, Austin, Birmingham and Canada....and getting this feature film version of THE X-RATED GRANDMA ready for Slamdance in January...
And life continues...

Man...I'll tell you...
I love being the son of a stripper.
Being Opal's son....I'll tell you....is a life like no other....I wouldn't want it any other way, being the son of a stripper, and filmmaker of my Mother, the X-Rated Grandma...
Some birthday...43 years with Opal...what's to come?
Jack
