Grammy Award-winning songwriter, Jeff Silbar, wrote and arranged the song, "Goodbye" which is the Trailer Song for the short film “A Pornographer” -- the controversial and alarming, fact-based story of excessive internet porn listings—over 100 a day in Los Angeles alone-- for porn actresses which may, or may not, be fraudulent casting sessions.

"A Pornographer" Executive Producer Todd Johnson is very excited about Silbar's participation in the making of the provocative short film.  Johnson explains, "The song Jeff wrote and arranged for us called "Goodbye" really completed the film; our soundtrack guru, Bruce Sugar, coupled with Jeff's haunting song really provides the perfect undertone for our film and its ending!" 
 
Prior to lending his extraordinary songwriting talents to "A Pornographer," Silbar is most well known for his Grammy win for his song “Wind Beneath My Wings” which was voted Song of the Year by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS).
