Mindy Cohn's Violet
has a unique problem in director-producer
Casper Andreas' Violet
Tendencies: She's the last fag hag left in Manhattan.
That's the premise behind the third
collaboration between Jesse Archer and Andreas. (The other two are
Slutty Summer and A Four Letter Word.)
Being the only fag hag in Manhattan
proves too much for Violet. The demands are hampering her search for
love – most nights found at the end of a telephone chat line –
and she decides, at the prompting of co-worker Salome (played by Kim
Allen), to give up “the racket.”
“The gays have totally warped your
mind,” Salome warns when Violet says she isn't interested in
marrying or having children.
Violet's gay pals aren't prepared to
lose their friend and they promise to find her the straight male
version of herself – the mythical “fag stag.”
Sidebars include co-worker Riley (Sam
Whitten) and his live-in boyfriend (Andreas) considering fatherhood,
and roommate Luke (Archer), a confessed bed hopper, struggling to get
Darian (Adrian Armas) off his mind.
Violet's search for romance and her
attempt to kill her inner fag hag spin a tall tale but Cohn's
admirable acting, biting one-liners and the film's quick pace turn
the feature into a joyride. (A trailer for the movie is embedded in
the right panel of this page.)
