Plot
A single mother accepts an adult entertainment job in order to take care of her daughter and herself. The film examines the effect her occupation has on her relationships and on her.
The Production
The film was written in 6 days and shot in 24, largely because nearly half of the film had to be reshot when the original cinematographer quit the production after several disagreements with the rest of the production crew. Armed with a budget of less than $5000 and almost no permits the shooting duties were shared with members of the production cast and crew, which explains the fact that there is no cinematographer credited. Despite the limitations the film was very well reviewed by critics and film writers for its writing and its performances. It premiered in several cities at regional film festivals around the world, and was picked up for distribution a year of its festival premiere. It was released on DVD on July 20, 2010.
