I have met many of my heroes (and most have disappointed). So here is a little information about my documentary, "Betty Blowtorch And Her Amazing True Life Adventures"
"Funny, touching and jubilant."
LA Weekly
"Honest, vulnerable, gritty and unafraid. The film refuses to be become melodramatic even when faced with death. Betty Blowtorch And Her Amazing True Life Adventures is a film every music-lover owes it to themselves to see."
The American Film Institute
"We dare you not to be moved by the tragic story presented here. Once the film has ended, you cant help but feel the tremendous loss documented."
Film Threat Magazine
"Betty Blowtorch and Her Amazing True-Life Adventures has an appeal that extends far beyond its subject's fan base and is worth a look for anyone who enjoys a good doc, even folks who wouldn't normally be into a band fronted by one Bianca Butthole. Behind all the tattoos and the raunchy verbiage, the musician born Bianca Halstead turns out to be one smart, sweet and immensely appealing woman, and her tragic death in 2001 gives the film an unexpected resonance."
