IS THIS DRUG-ADDLED, FACE-SITTING
EXTRAVAGANZA RIGHT FOR YOU?

“Funny, stylish, and always engrossing ... extraordinarily well-drawn
and psychologically realistic. All in all, it's a vastly entertaining and also
poignant work, and it made me very curious about and sympathetic to
the worlds of BDSM and of drug-addled dreamers.”
—Anna Biller, writer-director of the neo-sexploitation film, VIVA

PERMANENT OBSCURITY: Or a Cautionary Tale of Two Girls
and Their Misadventures with Drugs, Pornography and Death by Dolores Santana
(as told to Richard Perez)

Inspired by the underground sexploitation films of the 1960s, this bold updating of the “roughie” subgenre and lampoon of auteur filmmaking largely takes place in New York City's East Village (circa the Bush era), and it chronicles the rise and fall of a unique and intense relationship. Dolores and Serena, two chemically dependent, down-and-out artists set out to take control of their lives by making a fetish-noir/femdom movie. Of course, things don't exactly turn out as planned.


“Richard Perez has the ears of the angels—lend him yours.”
—Barry Gifford, author: WILD AT HEART, PERDITA DURANGO

“Perez's is an exciting talent and his work goes far beyond most of what is published today.”
—Henry Flesh, author: MICHAEL and the Lambda Literary Award-winner,
MASSAGE

 

“Ready-made for Russ Meyer—
assuming, that is, if Meyer was around and still at his peak.”
—Josh Alan Friedman, author: TALES OF TIMES SQUARE, WHEN SEX WAS DIRTY

Dolores & Serena:



“They were young and immoral!...”
