Blonde Death (Blu-ray)

"Blonde Death," filmed on a modest budget and produced by the Los Angeles art collective EZTV, delves into the gritty underbelly of society. Directed by "James Dillinger" (a pseudonym for author James Robert Baker), the film traces the turbulent journey of Tammy Lynn Beaverdorf, portrayed by Sara Lee Wade, as she descends from innocence to drug-fueled chaos. With its raw portrayal of sex, drugs, and violence, including daring scenes surreptitiously shot at Disneyland, "Blonde Death" is a bold exploration of counterculture. Bonus features accompanying the film include preservation of the original 3/4" tape master, insightful commentary from queer film historians, interviews with key figures involved in the production, and archival footage providing a glimpse into EZTV's pioneering work in the art scene of the era.
