from Filmrunner.net. Love & Plutonium is a superhero romantic comedy which Jeff co-wrote with his wife Jacquie Floyd. He also produced and starred in the film. 2009 was an extremely productive year for Jeff, seeing him appear in over 15 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 2009, including Mike Allore's short film The Next Step, Chuck Grady's critically acclaimed short The Point, Louis Kerman's short The Guest Room, and Cate Caldwell's short Patterns. In addition, Richard James' 2008 feature Shadow of Crime, in which Jeff had a lead role as an unemployed auto worker who robs the mob, had its premiere in April and has since received European distribution and begun airing on US cable. Other films of note in which Jeff appeared in 2009 are Sam Lemberg's Eddie & The Alternate Universe, Derrick Barnsdale's Monsters, and Gary Bosek's Soldier's Triangle. On the commercial side in 2009, Jeff appeared in a TV ad for Big Boy and radio commercials for Little Caesars and Calcite Credit Union. He also recently had the opportunity to record vocals for a song on a made-in-Detroit Christmas album. Looking ahead to 2010, Jeff will play a lead role in two new webisodic series from Nathan Quinn: portraying Milo Atkins in Indie, an Entourage-like spoof set in southeastern Michigan, and Ricky, the doddering detective's sidekick in Avis Oswald: Private Eye. He will also reprise his role as Luther in Nathan's sci-fi series Terra. Another significant project in the year ahead will be co-producing and playing a lead role in John F. Kerr's romantic comedy Ringslingers. Jeff is a partner in Loose Change Entertainment (LCE), a production company with three completed films under its belt (Arbor Daze, Love & Plutonium and Weenie Roast Massacre), and several others in various stages of production (Monsters, True Extremes, Cold Dead Hands). LCE has also completed a TV pilot entitled Incorporated, a comedy series about small business. 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. Jeff is married to actor and writer Jacquie Floyd. The couple currently resides in Troy, Michigan. |
