GRAHAM Montaggio JOE MCFADDEN & COREY YAKTUS BITCH SLAP- LE SUPERDOTATE Sinossi Bitch Slap-Le Superdotate è un omaggio post-moderno ai ‘B’ Movie e al genere degli Exploitation movie tipico degli anni ’50 e ’70, ma è anche una parodia affettuosa e sagace di questo stesso genere. Ispirato a film come “Dragstrip Girls”, “Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill”, “Kung fu Nun”, oltre che alle pellicole di genere Blacksploitation, Bitch Slap-Le Superdotate mescola ragazze sexy, macchine veloci, armi di grosso calibro, lingue affilate, una dose di azione a dir poco bizzarra e bellone da sballo con un messaggio….non vi conviene fare i birichini! Bitch Slap-Le Superdotate segue le vicende di tre ragazze spietate (una spogliarellista squattrinata, un killer\corriere della droga e l’intermediaria di un’azienda) le quali arrivano in uno sperduto rifugio nel deserto allo scopo di sottrarre un ingente bottino ad uno spietato boss della malavita. Ma ben presto, la situazione sfugge dal loro controllo, mentre si susseguono tradimenti e rivelazioni, e sulla scena sopraggiungono altri criminali. Il destino del mondo è in pericolo e le ragazze si confronteranno con un ‘cattivo di turno’ assai peggiore di quanto non si sarebbero mai aspettate: loro stesse. E poi tutto si trasforma in una suprema fiaba sulla morale, mentre una alla volta, le ragazze si rendono conto che è stata tutta una messa in scena, e che uno dei personaggi del film potrebbe non essere umano… Ciò che rende Bitch Slap-Le Superdotate diverso da qualsiasi altro film è una sottotrama che caratterizza tutto il film e il cui scopo è gettar luce sui personaggi, su degli antefatti che inizialmente non erano stati rivelati. Come il film Memento, queste scene, questi flashback si verificano alla rovescia, perciò, alla fine del film si ha un’idea totalmente diversa rispetto a chi siano veramente queste donne, alla loro identità, e alla ragione per la quale si comportano in maniera così spietata. Una cosa è certa: non avete ma visto niente del genere in Jailbait Babysitter! Perciò afferrate i popcorn e allacciatevi le cinture di sicurezza. BITCH SLAP- LE SUPERDOTATE ha tutte le carte in regola per diventare un “Classico di Culto”. BITCH SLAP- LE SUPERDOTATE Biografie RICK JACOBSON (Sceneggiatore\Produttore\Regista) Armato della telecamera 8mm dei genitori, Rick Jacobson ha iniziato a fare film all’età di nove anni. Prendendo ispirazione dalle Saturday matinees1, così come dai quei cinema che proiettavano i film di fantascienza, e dalle opere di registi come Hitchcock, Leone, Lucas, Spielberg e Scott, Jacobson ha creato un vasto numero di cortometraggi ed è cresciuto con un unico obiettivo in mente... diventare un regista di Hollywood. Rick si è diplomato al prestigioso film program del California Institute of the Arts, e ai suoi esordi ha iniziato a lavorare a livello professionale come Storyboard Artist per conto di alcune prominenti società di produzione indipendenti. Successivamente, lavorando come capo elettricista, Jacobson ha acquisito quell’esperienza sul set che, successivamente, quando ha iniziato a dirigere film si è dimostrata basilare. Lo stile visivo e il ritmo frenetico del cortometraggio diretto da Rick, intitolato The Bonzai Brothers, ha catturato l’attenzione del famoso impresario Roger Corman. Nel 1991, Corman ha assoldato Jacobson (che all’epoca aveva soltanto 23 anni) per dirigere il suo primo lungometraggio: l’opera d’arte sulle arti marziali, dal titolo Full Contact. Con un budget limitato e delle tabelle di marcia serratissime, tutte caratteristiche per le quali Corman è famoso, Jacobson ha affinato quella sua particolare abilità, grazie alla quale riesce a fare dei film davvero consistenti anche con dei budget limitati. In seguito, il regista ha diretto anche altri film per conto di Corman, oltre all’episodio pilota della serie Roger Corman Presents, una serie antologica per la HBO. Inoltre, è stato una figura chiave nella costituzione dei Concorde Anois Studios, la società di produzione di Corman, che ha base in Irlanda. Jacobson ha diretto quindici film e, successivamente, è passato a lavorare in ambito televisivo, diventando un regista di serie televisive, basta citare i popolari show televisivi Baywatch, La Femme Nikita, Mortal Combat Conquest e She Spies, solo per citarne alcuni. Dal 1996 al 2001, Jacobson ha iniziato a dirigere Hercules - The Legendary Journeys e Xena: Principessa Guerriera per conto dei produttori Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert & Eric Gruendemann. Jacobson, successivamente, ha diretto più episodi di Xena rispetto a qualunque altro regista nel corso di tutta la serie, che è andata avanti per 6 anni. Raimi/Tapert hanno poi chiamato nuovamente Jacobson per dirigere l’episodio pilota della serie Cleopatra 2525, e poi, nuovamente, lo hanno volute anche nel 2009 per la puntata pilota della loro nuova serie Spartacus: Sangue e Sabbia, ispirata alla graphic novel di successo. Con oltre 100 episodi di serie televisive all’attivo, Jacobson è tornato a dirigere dei film per il grande schermo nel 2007, con la pellicola indipendente Bad Guys. Si tratta di un thriller psicologico che ha vinto il premio come Miglior Film e quello come Migliore Attore al Beverly Hills Film Festival di quell’anno. 1N.d.T. "Saturday Matinees," sono delle proiezioni cinematografiche che hanno luogo il sabato mattina e sono dedicate a un pubblico di bambini. In quello stesso anno, Jacobson, assieme al suo socio Eric Gruendemann, ha fondato la Bombshell Pictures and Epic Slap LLC. Il primo film prodotto dalla società è stato BITCH SLAP- LE SUPERDOTATE, un explotation movie spettacolare, che Jacobson e Gruendemann hanno scritto, prodotto e che Jacobson ha anche diretto. Al Festival del Cinema di Cannes, la premiere del film è stata molto affollata e ciò ha dato il via a delle vendite internazionali entusiastiche. Sia il film che il suo cast sexy hanno catturato l’attenzione della stampa nel corso dei mesi successivi e si sono guadagnati le copertine di riviste come Playboy, Screen Sirens, Lesbian News e Maxim UK. Altrettanto scatenati sono stati i dibattiti su internet, grazie ad apparizioni su NGTV, Attack of the Show e praticamente su qualsiasi altro sito di cinema immaginabile. Oggi, Rick vive nel Sud della California assieme a Rachel, la sua straordinaria Segretaria di Edizione, che è anche sua moglie, e alla loro figlioletta di un anno, Erin. ERIC GRUENDEMANN (Sceneggiatore/Produttore) Eric Gruendemann ha trascorso quasi venticinque anni a lavorare nell’industria cinematografica e televisiva. Nel 2007, assieme al suo socio Rick Jacobson, Gruendemann ha fondato la Bombshell Pictures and Epic Slap, LLC, con l’obbiettivo di sviluppare e produrre film high-concept2, di genere, destinati al mercato globale. Il loro primo progetto è stato proprio BITCH SLAP- LE SUPERDOTATE (che Gruendemann & Jacobson hanno scritto e prodotto e che Jacobson ha anche diretto). Le riprese sono terminate nell’estate del 2009 e il film ha già catturato i cuori e l’immaginazione di molti fan e cinefili di tutto il mondo. BITCH SLAP ha già fatto la sua apparizione al Festival del Cinema di Cannes, al Comic-con ed è stato invitato a partecipare in competizione ad alcuni dei maggiori festival internazionali del cinema. Precedentemente, Gruendemann aveva creato la Uncharted Entertainment assieme a Richard Taylor (5 volte vincitore dell’Oscar per gli effetti visivi, il make-up e i costumi della trilogia de Il Signore degli Anelli e di King Kong, oltre che Co-Fondatore della Weta, Ltd.). Attraverso questa stessa società ha anche creato, scritto e\o sviluppato le serie drammatiche per la televisione Eldritch/Dungeons & Dragons, per ABC Family; Cirque per Spelling Television; Stain per Comedy Central; Heart of Stone per Fox Broadcasting; Changeling per UPN; Treasure Island per CBS; Left Behind per PAX; e Creature Quest per Discovery Networks International. Dal 1993 al 2000, Eric ha prestato servizio in veste di Co-Produttore Esecutivo e Amministratore Delegato della Pacific Renaissance Pictures, la società da lui fondata assieme ai leggendari filmmaker Sam Raimi e Rob Tapert. Con enorme talento ed energia, Eric si è occupato di sovrintendere praticamente tutti gli aspetti creativi e produttivi dell’innovativa serie televisiva Hercules - The Legendary Journeys, che è andata avanti per sei stagioni ed ha avuto il merito di ridefinire la cosiddetta 2 N.d.T. La definizione di high concept movie delinea una precisa tipologia di cinema contemporaneo. Il termine è attribuibile ai blockbuster di produzione americana, che si caratterizzano per una struttura modulabile, vale a dire sezionabile in frammenti. Questa caratteristica permette di esportare un elemento del film in differenti contesti anche non specificatamente cinematografici. Questi prodotti sono caratterizzati da storie semplici e da personaggi stereotipati che possono essere estratti dal contesto di origine e funzionare da marchio di garanzia in vari ambiti, in particolare nel merchandising e nelle strategie di marketing che contribuiscono a fornire un valore aggiunto al prodotto primario. syndication3. Simultaneamente, si è occupato anche del fenomeno di culto Xena: Principessa Guerriera, anch’esso andato in onda per ben sei anni, a partire dal 2001. Non possiamo dimenticare poi le serie di mezz’ora, Cleopatra 2525, Jack of All Trades, Young Hercules e due film per la televisione di due ore dal titolo Young Hercules e Amazon High.

  • Cast Bios Brooke White
    ‘BANNER 4TH OF JULY’ CAST BIOS BROOKE WHITE (Desiree Banner) — The magic of Brooke White resonates within “High Hopes & Heartbreak,” the former nanny’s first full-length release after she became an “American Idol” finalist. White made her first impression on “American Idol’s” seventh season when she told the judges that she had never watched an R-rated movie, prompting Simon Cowell to offer to bring her “to the dark side.” As viewer’s found out throughout her charmed run to a Top 5 finish, however, the Phoenix, AZ native exists like a beacon of light that shines through that dark, a passionate swirl of willowing soul and ‘70s flavored gold. The oldest of four siblings, her parents passed their love of music on to their children and that love has blossomed in White. She now looks to share the music of her parents’ generation with a new generation. She and her husband Dave welcomed their first child, daughter London Ray, in May 2012. The one-time nanny has come full circle, now balancing her passions of motherhood and music. After supporting “High Hopes & Heartbreak” on the road playing shows and making radio appearances, White took some time off from music, briefly, to film her first movie, FOX’s “Change of Plans,” which aired in 2011. She starred as Sally Danville, a singer-songwriter, who, with her husband, is granted custody of her childhood best friend’s four kids. “Change of Plans” was White’s first experience acting and to her surprise, she was a natural. In addition to acting in the film, White managed to write, record and perform three original songs in the movie and on the soundtrack album.
