The film about a man with a dying wife and the mystery gift he's building for her is remarkable for the sheer number of moods it's able to fit into its 17 minutes: sympathy, tenderness, light humor, dark humor, suspense, shock, horror, and, at last, transcendent love.
There is, however, not a whiff of regret in Darren Thornton's superb short 'FRANKIE' (Saturday at 2:30 pm). The title character, with his peat-thick Dublin accent (there are subtitles), buzzcut, and pint-sized pugilist's face, is played to perfection by Ryan Andrews. Thornton's expressive camera follows the 15-year-old expectant father as he totes a baby doll from school to hospital, pushing his pink stroller past the blighted detritus of his Northside housing estate and flipping off the jeers of his former friends as he prepares himself to be the best daddy ever. Funny and unabashedly heartfelt, it's like a patch of blue in a pewter Irish sky.

'It is important for us to choose the topics that are important to drivers who race in various series around the county and then choose the experts in the industry who can offer the best information, examples and advice to provide real insight as to what drivers' next career steps might be,' said Kymberly Brantigan, president of Performance PR Plus. Brantigan emphasized that to protect the integrity of the Summit, speakers and Performance PR Plus will not seek to sell any type of product or service, and there is no title sponsorship.
Speakers also are not selected on name recognition but are chosen based only on their experience and what they can offer.
Other speakers include Tom Deery, CEO of DIRT Racing and one of the leading 'grassroots-to- professional-racing' industry leaders. Having grown up and promoted his family's Rockford (Ill.) Speedway and then managing NASCAR's weekly racing series, Deery will lend a perspective and provide advice from his experience at all levels. SPEED TV's Ray Dunlap, who interviews many rookie and veteran drivers alike in covering NASCAR's Truck Series and ARCA, will talk about interviewing and how drivers represent sponsors in front of the camera and through public relations efforts. Dunlap will offer specific examples and will demonstrate interviewing techniques. Tony Blanchard is the former crew chief for Joey Logano in both the ASA and USAR Pro-Cup Series; he worked with the Joe Gibbs Racing driver development program, and currently owns and operates TB Development in Mooresville, N.C., which specializes in working with young up-and- coming drivers in stock car racing
