Tom Krueger wrote, directed and composed music for this narrative featurette about a fifteen year old boy's first meeting with his estranged father. FUZZY LOGIC, produced by Ted Hope, stars Jared Harris as a troubled father with good intentions attempting to establish a relationship with his son. When a young teenage boy (played by Vincent Polidoro) is dropped off at the bus station in Scranton, Pennsylvania, it appears that his father is not only late to pick him up but he has also been absent for the last twelve years. Just as he picks up the phone, presumably to call his mother, his father arrives in his life like a tornado and it becomes clear that his father lives on the edge of failure and disaster. A comic, sad and ultimately sympathetic portrait of a loser with a soft heart, FUZZY LOGIC was an official selection at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival and the 52nd Cannes Film Festival. - Stela Jelincic
