Jennifer's Bodies 2017 Official Selection - Sophia Cacciola starring With Whip, from Lianne O'Shea!

Sophia Cacciola is one powerhouse of a lady!  And a Vegan one at that!  This filmmaker/actress/musician has been done so much within the past ten years, it's hard to keep up.

For me personally, first and foremost it was her film TEN that first got my attention.  Ten was awesome!  And not only did Sophia write and direct the film, she also played a folk singer in it too....which was a nice little way of showing us just how wickedly talented she actually is!

This year I have a film that Sophia and her partner in crime, Michael Epstein produced, and that Sophia starred in, alongside writer Lianne O' Shea and director Aviv Rubinstein.  :)

With Whip is a delicious little short that takes a cheeky swipe at consumerism and how brain dead our society has actually become.  It may be short, but it is most definitely sweet!  In an ever so naughty way!

You can follow more of Sophia's work at her website and check out her latest feature, Blood of the Tribades on Amazon and VOD.  Oooh, Sophia also features in Izzy Lee's Innsmouth, showing at Jennifer's Bodies as well. :) 

Check out the trailer for Blood of the Tribades below. 

Jennifer's Bodies 2015 Line Up - Feature Films Category - Rocking Vegan Feminism with Sophia Cacciola and Michael J. Epstein's TEN!

Soooo, my first feature film announcment comes in the form of the deliciously wicked, yet wonderful feast for the eyes, TEN.  A feature that is so after my own heart and everything I believe in, that it is just an absolute delight!  If like me, you like your films to be entertaining, pretty fucked up...and that actually have something to say, then you're going to fucking love TEN!!  

TEN is a post-exploitation exploration of identity starring ten women.

Ten women find themselves in a vacant mansion on Spektor Island in December, 1972. Each believes she's traveled to the house on business, but they all agree that something seems strange. For one thing, the entire house is full of pictures and statues of pigs.

The women all come from drastically different walks of life. None of them would have chosen to spend the night together in such an eerie place, but the last ferry for the mainland has just left, and a terrible storm is rolling in. Trying to make the best of an unpleasant situation, they raid the mansion's wine cellar and throw a party. As the night creeps on, however, it becomes clear that someone--or something--has arranged to get them in the house. It's not long before someone mentions that Spektor Island is supposed to be haunted. Of course, no one in the house believes in ghosts.

At least, not until the first murder.
What do an actress, a religious zealot, a renegade, a coed, a model, a singer, a medium, a real-estate investor, a historian, and a doctor have in common? None of them is who they seem. Yet, the fate of the entire world may rest in their hands.

The all-female cast film is a response to exploitation, slasher, and thriller films, with particular focus on the kind of storytelling prominent in b-movies and genre films from the 1950s to the 1980s. It explores the meaning and fluidity of identity and takes a number of surprising turns, paying homage to filmmakers and producers such as Alfred Hitchcock, Roger Corman, John Carpenter, Wes Craven, Jim Wynorski, Jean Rollin, Lloyd Kaufman, and Andy Sidaris.

Ooh, and a film with opening credits THIS awesome...you know this little Vegan animal rights activist and feminist is gonna be ALL over this!! Muaaahahaha. :)
