A gonzo blend of John Waters and David Lynch, this rarely screened DIY send-up of Twin Peaks is just waiting to be claimed as a gem of underground queer cinema.
Parodying the acclaimed television show Twin Peaks, a college student goes undercover as a stripper and male hustler to infiltrate the crime duo responsible for his brother's death. Filmed in a lot of the same locations David Lynch used but with the absurdity turned way up, filmmaker Kelly Hughes proves to be an unsung legend of the underground. [60 min; comedy, horror, experimental; English]
“It feels like you’re watching something no one else on Earth could have made—personal and universal at the same time, twisting a beloved, familiar property into something entirely its own.” – Jared Abbott, Journey into Cinema
