Although Athens, Georgia may not be the filmmaking capital of America, we are fortunate to be home to a particularly prolific and creative group of underground filmmakers who go by the name of Gonzorrific Productions. This independent filmmaking collective creates, in the words of its founders, ‘female-driven, genre-jumping underground cinema.’ Their large catalog of past efforts includes films like Cannibal Sisters and Psycho Vixens. That said, I was very excited to check out Monica Puller's directorial debut short film Foxholes at its big screen premier during Gonzoriffic’s Peepshow...

Fem-positive DIY film making collective Gonzoriffic is pleased to announce principal photography has wrapped on Fox Holes, a short film that marks the directorial debut of co-founder Monica Puller. Since first meeting at a punk club in 1999, Puller and creative partner Andrew Shearer have worked closely together to produce over 25 films, including the acclaimed 2007 feature-length mockumentary Fake Blood, which they wrote and starred in. Fox Holes was written, produced and directed by Puller, who also plays the lead role of Autumn Knox alongside Diver Velour (The Erotic Couch) and Devon Peter (Cannibal Sisters).

Fake Blood (2007)

Truly “indie” in every sense of the word, Gonzoriffic films has consistently created some of the most ingeniously fun female characters in low budget camp cinema in films like Disaster For Christmas (2004) Cannibal Sisters (2006) and Psychovixens (2004) because they’ve been beholden to no distributors and were fiercely intent on presenting women in entertaining and non-traditional roles. Largely due to the influence of the other half of Gonzoriffic films, Monica Puller, the shorts have always had a strange mix of female strength and off-the-wall zaniness. Director Andrew Shearer’s first feature length film Fake Blood delivers not only the humor for which his shorts have been famous, but also takes an actually endearing look inside the world of an indie horror filmmaker with a mockumentary completely unlike previous efforts in the genre like Horror Business and American Movie. In fact, I’d have to say watching this disastrously bad low budget movie unfold is a lot like watching the terrible musical production in Waiting For Guffman
