🎬Fishnet 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈

Marilyn (Jillian Easton) is an ordinary, somewhat reserved woman whose quiet life gets completely flipped upside down when she crosses paths with Trixie (Rebekah Kochan), a charismatic, fiercely chaotic, and unapologetic exotic dancer. Marilyn is instantly drawn out of her shell by Trixie's magnetic energy, and a passionate, whirlwind romance quickly sparks between the two women.

However, the domestic bliss doesn't last long as Marilyn is abruptly pulled headfirst into Trixie’s highly dangerous underworld.

It turns out Trixie is entangled with a group of eccentric, incompetent mobsters and ruthless local hitmen led by a hot-headed thug named Tony (Paul J. Alessi). When a botched criminal scheme accidentally drops a massive target on both of their backs, the two women are forced to go on the run. Blending classic pulpy noir elements with frantic slapstick comedy, the couple must navigate a chaotic trail of flying bullets, stolen money, and underworld betrayals to secure their freedom and preserve their new relationship.

The Pulp Influence: Director Brian Pelletier heavily leaned into classic 1990s crime-comedy blueprints (reminiscent of early Quentin Tarantino or Guy Ritchie projects) but deliberately subverted them by placing a central sapphic romance at the very core of the survival plot.

Camp Icon Cast: Lead actress Rebekah Kochan was already a highly recognizable face in the indie queer subgenre during this era, frequently starring in various low-budget LGBT romantic comedies and campy horror features throughout the 2000s and 2010s.
