Blondes in the Jungle
A comic fantasy about shopping, exploration and touching the other.

This big-budget 37 minute piece is set to shoot in Honduras before the 2007 rainy season. The confirmed cast includes Ball Deep alums Trevor Hoff (as a drug smuggler), John Martin (as the Mayan jaguar god) and Andre Frechette (as Bret Easton Ellis). Bigtime bigshot Alex Orban has just signed on as co-producer.
Xpect to hear a lot in these coming months about preppies, heiroglyphics and art-movie fundraising.

We’ll start you off with some quotes:

“I am nineteen years old, blonde, slim and looking for adventure
…let me be your special.”
1928 letter to J. Eric S. Thompson, Archaeologist of the Ancient Maya

“‘My son, go and get me your loincloth that I may perceive its odour here with the widespread odour of my loincloth and the odour of my mantle and the odour of my censer. The supreme odour of the at the centre of the sky, at the centre of the clouds. And that which closes my mouth together, it is in a white cup if you are a halch uinic. ‘Father I will bring it,’ he said. And this is the odour of the loincloth which he asks for. This is the supreme odour at the centre of the sky. It is copal gum set on fire so that it burns. This is what closes his mouth together. It is ground cacao.”
Bodil Liljefors Persson, Historian, citing the Chilam Balam de Tuzik

“”I’m telling you, baby….The world is a jungle. Wherever you go it’s still the same.”
Bret Easton Ellis, Novelist
