We have become an annual Mid-west meeting ground for the very best that the pop culture world has to offer and we look forward to building on this foundation for many years to come.

Ive dug Steve’s work since he played the before mentioned “Chaz” in “My Name is Jerry”, which I got to watch with the writer/director at a local film festival. If you haven’t seen it, its been floating around on netflix, and I highly recommend it.
