Scooter McCrae, 2024, USA, 85 min
Join us for the Dallas premiere of underground auteur Scooter McCrae's latest transgressive vision, BLACK EYED SUSAN, the director's first feature in 25 years which sees him abandoning the shot-on-VHS haze of Shatter Dead & Sixteen Tongues in favor of lucious 16mm film. Features a brand new score by the legendary Italian composer Fabio Frizzi (The Beyond, Gates of Hell, The Psychic, Blastfighter).
Desperate for work, Derek accepts a job replacing his recently deceased friend at a tech startup. Continuing to develop the company’s innovative project means working intimately with Susan, a bleeding-edge BDSM sex doll meant to receive and appreciate punishment as an integral part of her evolving AI. Derek will soon test the limits of his own desires and explore the nature of man and woman, pleasure and pain, and life and death in a morally uncertain future world.
Following the screening there will be a virtual Q&A with director Scooter McCrae.
