Blanche, a Minnesota woman in her forties, wants to be a writer but settled for the life of a publisher's researcher in Minneapolis. Her long lost father is a born entrepreneur, making a small fortune in the Los Angeles and San Diego porn industry. Though he died, that doesn't keep him from directing Blanche by way of a DVD he left behind. But Melissa feels the business should be hers.

Production

Kilby originally penned a one hundred page script that was entered into the Screenplay Competition at Beverly Hills Film Festival. Years later he realized it was worth rewriting as a smaller project and set up a GoFundMe to fund the film with a micro budget. The rewritten forty page project was shot over twenty days for $15,000. Kilby dedicated the project to his sister Peggy.

Release

The film screened at Idyllwild International Festival of Cinema, Indie Short Fest, Global Indie Film Fest and Hobnobben Film Festival. It was released on video on demand on April 14, 2020.
