Desperate Teenage Lovedolls

 

Desperate Teenage Lovedolls was received as an instant cult classic when first self released within the Los Angeles punk underground in 1984. Since then, the no budget Super-8 film has gained international and above ground praise. Bunny, Kitty and Patch (Hilary Rubens, Jennifer Schwartz and Janet Housden) are three teenage runaways who form the hottest all-girl band of all-time, The Lovedolls. Their meteoric rise to the top comes not without a price, thanks to sleazy rock manager, Johnny Tremaine (Steve McDonald). Rival all-girl gang The She Devils and their leader Tanya Hearst (Tracy Lea) have it in for our heroes, as do annoying mothers and psyche ward doctors. The film also features Jeff McDonald, Phil Newman, Kim Pilkington, Vicki Peterson, Annette Zilinskas and Dez Cadena. Directed by David Markey.
