2010 was another extremely productive year for Jeff, seeing him appear in over 10 independent films, in addition to numerous TV and radio commercials, industrial films, and webisodes. Several of his projects have made a splash on the film festival circuit in 2010, including Michael Clark's short The Fall of a Sparrow and Sam Lemberg's Eddie & The Alternate Universe. In March of 2011, Jeff was featured in six films that were official selections at the Detroit Independent Film Festival, including four premieres: Michael Clark's Side Effects, Frank Simasko's Shades of Gray, Jason Buchanan's True Extremes, and Mike Allore's highly anticipated World of Art. Other films of note in which Jeff appeared in 2010 are Dennis Janiske's Affected, Joseph Parcell's Being from Another Planet, and Jeremy Salo's iTeen.

On the commercial side in 2010, Jeff appeared in TV and radio ads for Art Van, Genesys Health System, Botsford Hospital, and The Tax Experts. He also appeared in several humorous and well-received industrial films, and had the pleasure of working with "The Soup Nazi" in a web spot for Zoup!.

Looking ahead to 2011, Jeff will continue playing Ricky the befuddled sidekick in the web series Avis Oswald: Private Eye, and will participate in a new web series, The Adventures of Jack Uzi. In addition Jeff will appear in Tommie Green's Burglars, Al Profit's Saint Aubin, Gary Bosek's Ice Bus, and several other scheduled indie projects and commercials, including at least five radio spots for Gun Lake Casino. Among the most significant projects in the year ahead will be co-producing and playing a lead role in John F. Kerr’s romantic comedy Ringslingers.

Weenie Roast Massacre was recently picked up for distribution by Echelon Studios, and is available for rental on NetFlix.

Jeff has appeared on stage in musicals, plays and improv groups all over Michigan as well. 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 is also the frontman and primary lyricist of two bands: Curious Jack and Mad Rabbit. Curious Jack is a radio staple and the seminal comedy band in Detroit, having written a myriad of sports- and issue-related parodies and theme songs for Detroit's #1 afternoon radio show, Stoney & Wojo, on WDFN. Curious Jack's music is featured in a 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. They are proud to be the only band in Michigan sponsored by Zodiac Vodka. His former band, Elixir, released an album entitled Love Goes Boom in 2005.
