Fishnet
(Brian Pelletier, USA, 2010, 85 min)
When two girlfriends and burlesque dancers accidentally get involved in a mob hit, they hit the road only to turn a small town upside down. In an effort to earn some money to return home the girls start a burlesque show at a local truck stop. The show becomes the hottest thing to hit Texas since Charlene Tilton on Dallas. This not only causes a big controversy in a little town but also sends the mob, the police, and the media after them . As the clothes come off the bullets fly. Director Brian Pelletier's will be in attendance with 25 Random Things I Did During My Big Fat Lesbian Depression, (Christine J. Russo, USA, 2009, 11 min) My Big Fat Lesbian Depression takes a comedic look at one lesbian's journey of recovery from an unreal break up. From eating excessive amounts of frozen yogurt, leaning on friends, to yoga in the desert to entering a twelve step program. 25 Random Things uses the framework of social media to poke fun at some of the crazy, yet personal things we do in life to get through our darkest moments in order to move on from the past and emerge into a lighter state of being.
