'Billy's Dad is a Fudge-Packer' has been selected for the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. Made through the Power Up film production grant program, the movie was written and directed by first timer Jamie Donahue, and stars Robert Gant (Queer as Folk), Cady Huffman (The Producers -Tony Award Winner) and Alex Borstein (MAD TV).

A short film, this stylized comedy set in 1950's America explores the life of 'Billy' as his essay assignment causes him to take a look at the world around him. What will he be when he grows up? Does he want to be a policeman or a fireman? Or will Billy turn out to be a fudge-packer like his father?
