"Clay Westervelt's documentary about Jim Wynorski is an insightful, compelling and frequently hilarious portrait of one filmmaker's quixotic attempts to shoot a feature length soft-core erotic film within three days. Wynorski's process is layered with passion, frustration, anger, titillation and camaraderie, a delicate balance that only a veteran filmmaker could hope to maintain through the often outrageous circumstances and conditions that Wynorski coaxes his cast and crew to undergo. But the film's ambitions are much greater -- Westervelt also deftly analyzes the technical, economic and social changes that have redefined the B-movie, with a hint of nostalgia over the industry's decline and transformation, and the compromises of filmmakers like Wynorski, whose passion for filmmaking is tragically undermined by an industry that increasingly and exclusively values the bottom line."
-- Professor Alex Ago, School of Cinematic Arts, USC
"I don't hate it."
