independent film distribution web site. Love & Plutonium is a superhero romantic comedy which he co-wrote with his wife Jacquie Floyd, and also produced and starred in. He has recently appeared on stage in Proof, in the role of Hal at Grosse Pointe Theatre, Polar Opposites, a short play written by Jacquie, and Working Stiffs, an original play by Michigan playwright Edward J. Thomas. 2007 was Jeff's busiest year to date. In addition to appearing on stage in three different productions, he was featured in nine films. Highlights include Mike Bartkowiak's Keep A Baby, a road-trip comedy with a purpose, Matt Pearson's Cold Dead Hands, a cataclysmic horror feature, Marty Shea's Literally, a short satirical comedy about biblical literalism, and Nathan Quinn's Terra, a sci-fi series set on a post-modern Earth. Jeff's other recent film highlights include Amsteroid, a sci-fi adventure directed by Hollywood FX veteran John Higbie, and True Extremes, about an indie film director who crosses the line. 2008 has seen Jeff appear in Mike Allore's award-winning short film The Next Step, and in Harmless Thoughts, a sci-fi drama from veteran director Gary Bosek. Still on tap for 2008 are the premieres for several of the aforementioned movies, the continuation of the Terra saga, and the short film Patterns, a gritty con-job tale from writer/director Cate Caldwell. Jeff co-owns Loose Change Entertainment (LCE), a production company with three completed films under its belt (Arbor Daze, Love & Plutonium and the recently-premiered Weenie Roast Massacre), and several others in various stages of production (Probejackers, Cold Dead Hands, True Extremes). LCE has also completed a TV pilot entitled Incorporated, a comedy series about small business. In addition, Jeff has appeared in numerous radio and TV commercials, as well as on stage in musicals, plays and improv groups all over Michigan. A founding member of the award-winning sketch comedy show, Loose Change, Priskorn penned and directed numerous sketches and anchored the on-camera cast for over 10 years. He also fronts two bands: Curious Jack and Mad Rabbit. Curious Jack is a radio staple in Detroit, having written a myriad of sports and issue-related parodies and theme songs for Detroit's #1 afternoon radio show, Stoney & Wojo. Their most recent song, "Fire (Matt)", about the ineptitude of the Detroit Lions' front office, has been aired on WDFN in Detroit and WTKG in Grand Rapids. Curious Jack recently learned that their music will be featured in an upcoming display at the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame. Mad Rabbit is an energetic, wacky and raucous rock and roll band which plays to packed houses in bars and clubs all over Michigan. His former band, Elixir, released an album entitled Love Goes Boom in 2005. Jeff is married to actor and writer Jacquie Floyd. The couple currently resides in Troy, Michigan. |
