SOME NUDITY REQUIRED
A documentary about the making of today's B-movies, with the main focus on the "scream queen" actresses. It was made last year by Odette Springer, who has written and performed music for numerous B-movies. This film isn't eye candy for fan-boys, it's a very personal and unflinching look at what really goes on behind the scenes. It features interviews with the likes of Julie Strain, Roger Corman, Fred Olen Ray, Brinke Stevens, Andy & Arlene Sidaris, and Jim Wynorski. Maria Ford, who has amassed quite an amount of B-movie credits in a short time, is the best part about this film. In one of her interviews, I was moved to tears by what she said. It was such a raw display of emotion. It baffles me that the big boys haven't been knocking down her door already. For a longtime fan of movies like SORORITY BABES IN THE SLIMEBALL BOWL-O-RAMA, a lot of this was tough to hear. I never stopped to think of why none of these "scream queens" ever eventually made it to A-pictures. I wish there was something I could do. Maria, if you happen to read this, I want to make you a promise: If I ever become a big shot Hollywood director, you're the first one I'd call for my leading actress. And I would never, ever ask you to be naked.
