My wife had come across your blog. I appreciate your mention of my film; I still have many friends and family in Mt. Lebanon as well as fond memories. In fact, my first introduction to TV/Film was Mr. Babich’s television production class at Mt. Lebanon High School – it was a great class. It was also in this class that I became good friends with Paul A. Anderson who wrote all the music for my film. So the Mt. Lebanon connection is strong (there are also a few Alum cameos in the film i.e. Mike Sample). The film has been such a hit that I have received funding to start on a sequel. In the meantime, anyone who wants to see the “Art Of Failure” can go to the film’s website www.theartoffailure.com and pick up a DVD which is longer than the HBO version.
All the best,
Jeff Stimmel
