There is plenty of hustling going on at your average film festival, but this was something different. Guerilla marketing hit SILVERDOCS yesterday when the woman in the photograph showed up to promote Jon Hotchkiss’ latest project, Obscene Movie. If you are fans of Penn & Teller or “Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher” (where he was one of the original writers), you probably recognize his name. Hotchkiss wasn’t present, but the promotional attempt seemed to get a less than warm reception at the Cinema Lounge, where the manager politely asked them to leave (and they politely complied).

It definitely got people’s attention. People were asking if she was a real sex worker or a porn star, but I asked the first question that came to my mind–how do you walk in those crazy shoes? Apparently it helps if you take small steps.
