Interview with director Julia Hebner: "Jeff"

Hello, you absolute freaks. We got y'all a bonus episode in case you have a long weekend lined up.  

A few weeks ago, Dalton moderated the Q&A for the Midnight Shorts block at deadCenter and got his wig flipped all the way around by a surreal and challenging short film, Jeff. Fortunately, the film's writer and director, Julia Hebner, was at the fest with some answers, but that, of course, only led to more questions. When it turned out our beloved David Lynch was one of Julia's guys, it was all the more reason to sit down for a proper interview.

Be warned, Jeff is not for the faint of heart—proper subject matter warning in the intro.
