Steve Balderson's latest women in prison film, Stuck! will have its World Premiere at the Raindance Film Festival on Saturday, October 10.
"Stuck!" stars Karen Black, Mink Stole, Jane Wiedlin, Susan Traylor, Pleasant Gehman, Starina Johnson, and Stacy Cunningham. Director Steve Balderson, Susan Traylor, Starina Johnson, Stacy Cunningham and Pleasant Gehman will be presenting the film and doing a Q&A after the screening.
So what does the critics says? Critic MJ Simpson in the UK raves: ”Steve Balderson is the best-kept secret in American independent cinema. He makes his own films - which are unfailingly brilliant - and the rest of the world very, very gradually catches up with him... 'Stuck!' [is] an unexpectedly powerful, skilfully managed slice of women-in-prison drama that never teeters into camp..." Gonzoriffic Movie Reviews says "Stuck!" is: ”Gorgeous ...feels less like an homage and more like a newly discovered classic... better than most of the movies that inspired it..." Stuck is the story of Daisy, an innocent young woman framed for killing her mother. Condemned by the press and the public, Daisy is found guilty of murder and sentenced to die by hanging. This jazzy, finger-snapping, broads-behind-bars film is a throwback to another era, with terse Tennessee Williams-style verbal sparring, non-stop action and enough bad-girl jailhouse hi-jinks to make the audience lose the distinction between good and evil.
Tickets for the World Premiere will be £12.00 from Main Box Office at the Apollo Cinema. Online Box Office opening soon at apollocinemas.com or call 0871 220 6000. Tickets for special events are available from The Raindance Film Café Filmmakers' Lounge or from the Raindance website.
