Writer/producer Destin Pfaff sent Fango the scoop on a nice
little sashimi roll of exploitation called SUSHI GIRL. The film, which Pfaff
co-wrote with its director Kern Saxton, begins production this March at Universal
Studios, and tells the tale of a robbery crew reassembling to celebrate one of
their own’s release from prison—and reminisce about a job gone wrong—while
eating a buffet of sushi off the nude body of a beautiful young woman. However,
things quickly spiral out of control and, as Pfaff describes it, “torture,
madness and violence ensue.”
Saxton further explains to Fango that the genesis of the story lay in everyone’s favorite inspiration: “Alcohol. Actually, we were seeing our friend’s band, After, at a local dive and discussing the challenges we were having with getting a few larger-scale projects off the ground—including the feature-length version of DEADER LIVING THROUGH CHEMISTRY [a Saxton short featured on the DVD of George A. Romero’s DIARY OF THE DEAD]. And it hit us: We should make a throwback heist film that we can fully contain ourselves without having to depend on others. We ended up being lucky enough to involve our producer friend Suren Seron, as well as a few others who totally got what we wanted to do, and it grew into a larger project—in a good way. It’s like RESERVOIR DOGS meets HOSTEL.”
No doubt the titular girl will be a feast for the eyes, so
it’s no surprise when Pfaff reveals that they’re casting the character from the
very popular Suicide Girls website. “I did an interview with Sean [of Suicide
Girls] last year about MILLIONAIRE MATCHMAKER [which Pfaff co-hosts] for their
website, and we really hit it off,” Pfaff recalls. “He’s a great guy, and
they’re doing some really innovative things with the girls and their site right
now. We’ve been talking about doing something together, and I’m hoping this is
just the first of many projects with them. On top of that, their girls are not
only stunning, but incredibly talented. We’re looking forward to choosing a
fresh face and featuring her in a unique and surprising role—one that forces
her to shed her Suicide skin and lose herself in the character.”
Pfaff goes on to assure that while SUSHI GIRL’s budget may
be low, this is no small affair. “We called in some favors and are lucky enough
to be able to shoot at Universal Studios and have an Emmy-Award-winning DP
[Rick Darge], a veteran casting director, a fantastic composer
[Friedrich Myers] and a producing team who are able to work our budget to feel
20 times larger than it is.” Special makeup will be created by Tom Devlin and
1313 FX, and stylistically, the movie’s influences are spread across the board,
but mostly rooted in good old ’70s fare. “We took our love of horror and vintage
exploitation films and married it with a modern thriller twist,” Saxton says.
“We’re shooting on the RED [hi-def] camera, and going for a vintage look: THE
SHINING meets FRENCH CONNECTION.”
