short film: guy on fire - what was the title?

Somewhere around 2004-ish I attended an indie film seminar called "The Seven Secrets of Short Films". The presenter showed a series of sample short films that were, in fact, pretty darn good.

One of the films was about a guy who was blazingly on fire. He drove over to his girl's house to pick her up for a date. She was on fire, too. It was a great film. Sadly, I didn't write down the name of it during the seminar, but I'm trying to remember it now.

Does my description trigger anyone's memory?

I'm On Fire, written & directed by Ryan Rowe. The seminar was probably conducted by Kim Adelman, who ran Fox's short film program and has written a good book about short films.

I saw this film! It was submitted to a film festival I was on the screening committee for. I recommended it, but got shot down. Too bad, it was clever.
