    Truly life-affirming levels of warm-hearted, innocent fun and invention. I had the pleasure of screening a film of my own alongside 'Jeff' at Brief Encounters and therefore witnessed first hand that kind of audience response it provokes. The idea is brilliantly suited to the no-budget style as it makes the character seem all the more unthreatening and somehow familiar, and I don't really see the film as being a one joke wonder at all. It's just amusing to spend some time in this guy's world - in fact, I'd like to see more. Maybe Jeff should spread the word about his burgeoning cult through his own website? Just a thought.

    Love it. Love it love it love it. I've done a bit of no-budget comedy, but it's brilliant to see it done so well. More!
