It’ll be interesting to see if any investor types respond to our little flick.

Unfortunately between unreliable babysitters and trips to the hospital, we were only able to have one of our three Hellcats on hand to shoot and she was a late addition to the team.

Thanks, Kelly!

Here are a few shots of Kelly in the role of ROSIE, the giggly, fun-loving, sex poodle of our group of evil go-go dancers. Enjoy!

Not that its too horribly hard or anything, just boring and time consuming. But I’m halfway done…

I was held in a constant state of bewildered suspense which soon dissipated to confusion, the good kind that leaves you with a “what the fuck was that?” kind of feeling… which I tend to appreciate because it makes more of an impact and the “zeitgeist” (if you will) lingers.

I like it.

You evil genius. That was a work of brilliant, vomit-inducing skull-fuckery. I laughed. I cried. I did a little dance with jazz hands. I like that you kept [NAME OMITTED] alive to be our eyes and ears, and at the end she – like us – are all WTF???

Good work, man! Can’t wait to see it done!

I’m happy to report that I have completed my current rewrite of my lurid cinematic opus G-String Hellcats!

After not being able to rewrite a god damned thing on the second half of the story, I had one of my in-the-shower-epiphanies (copyright 2007 Mack Lewis) where one small idea lets all the other half-digested ideas fall into place and work. Yes, work. Which is great because they sure as shit didn’t work before. Or not as well.

So baring insightful comments or ideas that make this tale even wackier or nastier, this will be the final shooting script. You can count on it.

I’m so freaking happy.
