Club Midnight (10 Min)
Presented in split-screen, this Cinemascope film
features Dennis Hopper's mesmerizing delivery of
"Club Midnight' by Pulitzer prize-winner CharlesSimic,
with neo-Burlesque stars, Andrea Beeman and Bonnie
Dunn on-screen caught by the cinematography of Michael
Spiller, Director of Photography for "Sex And The
City". The film turns the after hours erotic club
into a metaphor for a neo-noir world that crosses
cinematic boundaries by transforming edgy experimental
film-making into a high production mini-spectacle, and
captures the emotionally powerful sensuality of the
women, from their bejewelled bodies to their often
hooded faces - as Hopper and Greenfield ask, 'Do you
put on wee hour girle shows with dead stars of black
and white films?' "
WRITER, DIRECTOR, PRODUCER: Amy Greenfield

Succubus (14 min)
It’s the middle of the night, and Lilith, a sporty twenty-something, is up
to no good. Lilith’s business is called Acme Cat Retrieval, and her
skills attest to that. She scales a ravine, climbs a tree, and breaks into
a mansion. Lilith enters a bedroom where a man sleeps with a cat
cradled in the nook of his arm. But Lilith isn’t after the cat. Instead,
she injects the sleeping man with a needle, knocking him out. She
pulls back the covers, revealing the true object of her entry. We learn
that Athena, Lilith’s partner, is a genetic engineer, who is developing
a process to fertilize Lilith’s eggs with her chromosomes so they can
have a baby genetically related to them both. But the embryos died,
and Athena is grieving their loss. Lilith arrives back home clutching a
vial of her solution to the problem: the sperm of Athena’s brother,
Larry. Lilith’s plan is to use Larry’s sperm to have a child biologically
related to them both. But Larry has previously declined to be a sperm
donor, so Athena refuses to participate in the scheme. During their
argument, the sperm vial is broken, and Lilith runs away. Resigned to
becoming a mother on her own, Lilith returns to Larry’s house, and
collects a second specimen. She returns to her van to inseminate
herself and is met with a surprise. “It’s not a perfect world,” declares
Lilith, “but close enough”.

Transaction (14 min)
Based on transcripts of an interview with an actual call girl working for
over 22 years, 'Transaction' is a frank and affecting cinema verite-
style depiction of the interaction between a client and a call girl that
leaves the audience to determine their own feelings about that
dynamic. The shooting style also provides a subtle examination of
point of view, shifting energies/control and the commodification of sex.
WRITER, DIRECTOR: Jacques Thelemaque
PRODUCER: Toni-Ann Parker
