What happens when a smart, spirited group of seniors show their support for Stormy Daniels by going to see her strip? Will our Golden Girls 2.0 still admire the articulate, courageous woman they saw on "60 Minutes" after seeing her dance naked around a pole?
To soothe your pre-election jitters and to celebrate the completion of this nine-minute labor of thought, love, and care, we're delighted to share Stormy and the Admirals here with you for the first time.
A spiritual companion to producer/director Dan Rybicky's previous short film about healthcare Accident, MD (which won Vimeo's Best of the Year Award in January 2020), this madcap story asks similarly complicated questions about American culture and is crafted by some of Chicago's best and brightest artists and documentarians, including cinematographer Erin Babbin, composer Devin Davis (Lonely People of the World, Unite!), and co-editors Rory McFadden and Aaron Wickenden (editor of films about Michelle Obama, Mister Rogers, and Pepe the Frog).
What does it mean to support, as Melania Trump calls Stormy Daniels, "a porn hooker" - and how in general are our attitudes towards a woman's intelligence, sexuality, and occupation impacted by age, gender, class, and political affiliation?
With an increasing number of sex workers monetizing themselves on sites like OnlyFans during the pandemic, the issues Stormy and the Admirals grapple with are more relevant than ever.
