I like this movie. I wrote some of the music, but did not see the script, or a treatment. I sent Chris a CD and seven months later the DVD arrived in the mail.

Though it is undeniably a low budge movie, Chris has put together a watchable and interesting film. Using creative camera angles and unique framing, he has crafted a stylistic story based on the short life of porn actress Ashley Sweet. His use of mirrors and light is particularly notable. Also, by employing many intriguing clips of music from different emerging musical talents, Chris has successfully recreated the hectic and confused feeling of the last months of her life.

The lead actress Rachel Frank is believable as the young star. She always looks great in stylish bikinis, though we wish we could see her in a costume that was less restrictive and more revealing.

The title song "Hollywood" by Shattered Atom is fantastic. This song is the heart of the movie and it really rocks. I have no idea who this group is but I love this song.

The movie maintains a stylistic tone throughout and focuses on Stacy's personal experience. The porno scenes are light hearted and provide comic relief from the subtle tension of the rest of the movie. A porn actor wearing a safety helmet is particularly amusing.

All the sex and most of the violence is off screen, so we are left with a poetic dream like telling of the Stacy's last days that makes us think about the brief ephememerality of life and the sad finality of death.

At 35 minutes, it is a film worth watching a second time. I look forward to the future efforts of director Chris Golon. He is off to a great start.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
