ERROR OF TYPE 0 (aka Once and Future Asshole) was one of Tiger's first films. Spencer Parsons directed the 20 minute award-winning
short. It screened at the 2005 SXSW Film Festival which was several years after it was actually shot, and it was really fun to
see Tiger so much younger than she is today. She received rave reviews for her performance (see right for one example), and ended
up being cast in a number of other films as a direct result of her work on ONCE AND FUTURE...
ONCE AND FUTURE... under the name
ERROR OF TYPE 0 has been making the PBS station circuit in the past year, and has been seen in Austin, Dallas, and Boston among other
places.
The IMDB plot summary reads as follows: "It's 1999 and time for a new operating system. When Mom's boyfriend brings his
crisis of niceness to her house, Julia wonders what all the adults teaching her things really believe about telling the truth, protecting
yourself, and leaving a proper tip."
“Once and Future Asshole” is a hell of a title, funny and bold--I was thrilled to discover that the film itself more than lives up
to that promise. It's bursting with smart ideas and observations, but unlike too many precious-athon films of late, these are not
just heavy dressings that cave in a dramatically empty shell. Spencer Parsons’ story is too good, and too cinematic, to be easily
synopsized, but for me thefilm had a lot to reflect about the absurd pains of learning the ways of the adult world--both for those
who are just entering it and those who might have known better by now. Parsons’ ace in the hole is the piercing, heartbreaking performance
by young Tiger Darrow, a kid actor debut as strong as Natalie Portman in The Professional, Anna Paquin in The Piano, or anyone else,
once and future, you care to name."
