Steve Balderson's PHONE SEX
9 SEPTEMBER 2008
Join us on Friday, September 26 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Space 242!
Filmmaker Steve Balderson (Firecracker, Underbelly) has just one question – But those three small words, 60 seconds of tape, and a cast of porn stars, punk rockers and pop culture psychos spouting some of the most prophetic and profane possibilities imaginable converge to address an immortal paradox - What is sexy?
Featuring Ron Jeremy, Margaret Cho, Christian Campbell, Susan Traylor, Edie McClurg, Jane Wiedlin, Tura Satana, Penn Jillette, Iris Berry, Pleasant Gehman, Deadlee, Josie Cotton, Jackie Beat, Mario Diaz, Lloyd Kaufman, Eric Himan, Kristian Hoffman, Chi Chi La Rue, Abby Travis, among many others.
"I dare you; I fucking dare you to watch this and not be swept up by it in like 5 minutes. It's hypnotic!" Film Threat
"A tour de force of freakiness." LA Weekly
"It may be the purest expression yet of just how diverse human sexuality can be." The Kansas City Star
