Lookin’ for a Man

November 27th, 2012 · Comments Off on Lookin’ for a Man

Back in the ’90s, White Knuckle Sandwich made a video of Jen’s song, “Lookin’ for a Man.”  The song and storyboard were by Jen Perez, and it was shot by videographer Anney Bonney for the now defunct pseudo.com.  Anne Shapiro and I portrayed a number of characters in this disturbing production.  Here are some screen […]
