Pussycat Preacher

My good friend, Bill Day, is an award winning TV producer and documentary filmmaker. His newest documentary, Pussycat Preacher, is about to be released-- to the public on DVD and to film festivals.

Pussycat Preacher is about Heather Vietch, a former stripper and soft-core porn performer turned Christian minister who, with the help of her pastor and a couple of other Christian chicks, decided to take the word of Jesus on the road and reach out to strippers and porn chicks. One of the things that makes their story documentary-worthy is they reach out to these (supposedly) lost souls in their native habitats, i.e., strip clubs, porn conventions, wherever they need to go to preach the gospels to girls they consider in dire need of God's ministering. Plus, there's that small matter of other Christians not being too thrilled (that's an understatement) about Heather's ministry.

So Bill asked if I'd help get the word out. (Word about his film, that is, not Jesus.)

Yep. Bill asked if I'd pimp his flick a bit. I guess he figured I'd oblige since A) I'm his friend and B) I'm in the documentary and C) I owe him some money.

Just kidding about the money. No. Really. I am!

You see, now that Bill's latest documentary is ready for release, he put together a website and a trailer for the film. But guess what? He didn't include me in the trailer! That's right. Somehow, my "friend" (Bill) didn't think it important to include his good pal (jimmyD) in the actual trailer. What's with that? Can you believe that crap? How's that for gratitude? Not only do I give of my time to appear in the film--numerous times over a couple of years--but I shot some additional footage for it *AND* I granted Bill free use of a bunch of photographs I snapped! (Yeah, I shot the pics you see featured in the trailer.)

But you know what? That's okay. I can rise above that. My ego ain't so out of control and I'm not so small-minded that I'm going to hold that against a friend.

But Bill, probably feeling guilty as sin for reasons only he can answer, somehow decided I might be a bit smaller-minded about this than I am and put together a little mini-trailer -- a teaser -- that's made up of a few clips featuring your's truly from the film.

If anyone's at all interested in seeing a middle-aged man make a fool of himself with some Holy Hottie Christian chicks, here's a link to a Quicktime of Bill's too late, too little clip. Like I said, it's not the trailer for the flick. It's some clips he put together to make me feel better about not including me in the OFFICIAL trailer.

Anyway.

Here's the Pussycat Preacher Quicktime Teaser

If Quicktime doesn't work for some of you, here's a URL (below) where you can see the clip streamed. Unfortunately, you'll have to endure some advertisements if you go this route.

I also hope you visit PussycatPreacher.com for more about Bill's film and a look at the OFFICIAL trailer that doesn't include me... other than a few snips of my voice buried somewhere in the soundtrack.

The image at the top is a candid I snapped of filmmaker, Bill Day, shooting Heather Veitch (the title character) at some point (I don't remember when) during the two or three years of filming that went into the making of Bill's latest documentary, Pussycat Preacher.
