Description

The personal relationships of the members of an all-girl punk rock band rise to a crescendo over one night as they wait their turn to perform at a local bar — one night, one stage, one chance. Lead vocalist Gwen fights to reconcile the punk-rock dream with mounting self-doubt; her guitarist sister Aubrey balances loyalty to her sister, to the band and to her own voice; bassist Paige carries the scars of past compromises and resists being sidelined; and drummer Molly grapples with an outsider's longing to belong, while their boyfriend Brad hovers in the wings offering stability — or disruption.

Written, produced, directed by and starring Dallas auteur Palmer Rockey, this long-lost cult anomaly began in the 1970s as It Happened One Weekend and was repeatedly re-edited over decades under titles including Scarlet Love and Love Is Deep Inside. Rockey plays twin brothers ensnared in a labyrinthine tale of Satanic conspiracies, occult rituals and 'demonic assassination' on a country estate. Laughed off the screen at its original Dallas premiere, the film refused to die; Rockey kept reshaping it and added an original rock soundtrack featuring his own vocals. Now rescued from obscurity by Grindhouse Releasing and restored in 4K from the original 35mm camera negative, it stands as a monument to cinematic obsession — part exploitation relic, part vanity project, part outsider art epic.
