Description:

Inspired by the underground sexploitation films of the 1960s, this bold updating of the "roughie" subgenre and lampoon of auteur filmmaking largely takes place in New York City's East Village (circa the Bush era), and it chronicles the rise and fall of a unique and intense relationship. Dolores and Serena, two chemically dependent, down-and-out artists set out to take control of their lives by making a fetish-noir/femdom movie. Of course, things don't exactly turn out as planned.PERMANENT OBSCURITY by Dolores Santana (as told to Richard Perez)    * a youthful bohemian satire,    * a story of alienated nonconformists,    * a "girls on the lam" story,    * a sexploitation and S/M romp,    * a spoof of cult celebrity and "true-life" tabloid sensationalismPERMANENT OBSCURITY:Written in the 3 parts:PERMANENT OBSCURITY: PART 1 - THE KINKY HOOKWhereupon we are introduced to Dolores and Serena and their kinky shenanigans.PERMANENT OBSCURITY: PART 2 - STRANGE HUNGERSWhereupon Dolores and Serena grapple with relationship/sexuality issues, life-threatening drug dealers, irreversible money woes.

All in all, it's a vastly entertaining and also poignant work, and it made me very curious about and sympathetic to the worlds of BDSM and of drug-addled dreamers."--Anna Biller, writer-director of the neo-sexploitation film, VIVA"Richard Perez has the ears of the angels--lend him yours."--Barry Gifford, author: WILD AT HEART, PERDITA DURANGO"Perez's is an exciting talent and his work goes far beyond most of what is published today."--Henry Flesh, author: MICHAEL and the Lambda Literary Award-winner,MASSAGE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~:
