Tagline: It’s Christmas Eve in Tinseltown and Sin-Dee (newcomer Kitana Kiki Rodriguez) is back on the block. Upon hearing that her pimp boyfriend (James Ransone, STARLET, “Generation Kill”) hasn’t been faithful during the 28 days she was locked up, the sex worker and her best friend, Alexandra (newcomer Mya Taylor), embark on a mission to get to the bottom of the scandalous rumor. Their rip-roaring odyssey leads them through various subcultures of Los Angeles.
Critic Quotes:
“Told with simplicity but deep empathy, Baker’s film sports a refreshingly sober, grown-up worldview that refuses to judge, sensationalize, or do anything other than show lives as they may be, and perhaps are.” – Vanity Fair
“This is sublime filmmaking, a textbook example of how indies can tell groundbreaking stories in a way that Hollywood simply can’t match.” – San Francisco Chronicle
“These people are the way they are, the movie says. This obscenely vibrant patch of L.A. is officially an enclave. But Baker makes it feel bigger and louder and crazier than that. He turns subculture into family.” – Grantland
“A reinvigorating reminder of what indie filmmaking can — and should — do.” – Time Out
