Check Out The NSFW Trailer For 'About Cherry', A Film Directed By Writer Stephen Elliott
Stephen Elliott, known for fantastic books like The Adderall Diaries and being editor in chief of The Rumpus, has added another title to his resume: Film director. His first feature, About Cherry, opens in limited release this week.
Here's the full plot description:
Angelina (Ashley Hinshaw) is an 18-year-old on the verge of finishing high school, rushing to escape her broken family life. After reluctantly taking nude photos at her boyfriend’s (Jonny Weston) behest, she takes the cash to skip town with her best friend (Dev Patel). Angelina gets a job cocktailing in a San Francisco strip club where she meets Frances (James Franco), an affluent lawyer who introduces her to a high-class world beyond her wildest dreams. At the same time, Angelina begins exploring San Francisco’s porn industry, using the moniker Cherry, under the wing of a former performer turned adult film director (Heather Graham).
SlashFilm reports that chatter out of festival viewings has been mixed, but I loved The Adderall Diaries, and I'll gladly give Elliott the benefit of the doubt.
