Fold co-writer/co-producer, POLLY FROST, has a humor piece on the front page of The Atlantic online here.

Two of “The Fold’s” writers — Polly Frost and Ray Sawhill — were interviewed by the excellent Wayne Clingman for his podcast Indy Film Wisconsin 2.0.

Enjoy our thoughts and ramblings — and enjoy the contributions of Wayne, who’s one very smart guy — here.

THE FOLD wishes you happy holidays whatever dimension you are in.

An interview for all indie horror, exploitation and sci fi movie makers to read at Dead Harvey (a great independent horror site) with horror filmmaker, Geno McGahee is here:

POLLY FROST, here, thrilled to be interviewing JEREMY LAWRENCE, one of NYC’s finest stage actors and playwrights. If you haven’t seen his Tennessee Williams show, it’s staggering. You will feel as though you’re actually watching Williams. If you haven’t seen his LAVENDAR SONGS, which won the 2008 Bistro Award (directed by Jason Jabobs) then you must absolutely see it the next time Jeremy performs it in NYC!

I first met Jeremy at Cornelia Street Cafe where my husband, Ray Sawhill, and I were performing SEX SCENES. I’d been told about Jeremy’s amazing acting by Robin Hirsch, one of the owners of Cornelia Street Cafe. Robin’s got great taste — still, when I saw Jeremy perform, I was staggered.

Jeremy’s performance as AVERY FERGUSON in THE FOLD is extraordinary.

btw, if I keep using superlatives to describe Jeremy Lawrence, it’s because nothing less than that can begin to describe the admiration, gratitude and depth of inspiration that I — and Matt Lambert and Ray Sawhill — have felt working with him. Ray and I are also lucky that Jeremy recorded two characters for our audio play, SEX SCENES.

And the most amazing thing about Jeremy is that he’s one of the easiest, most modest and wonderful people you could ever hang out with. Visit his website http://www.jeremylawrence.net to find out what he’s doing next.

POLLY FROST: How do you see your character in THE FOLD?

JEREMY LAWRENCE: Dick Cheney. Avery would be quite happy shooting a friend by accident while “hunting”. Although he would be happier if the victim was his own son and the accident was fatal. AFTER the Time Travel Machine had been delivered of course. Yes Avery’s Cheney, all right, with the short temper of McClain and maybe a little Pat Robertson mixed in, although I’m not sure Avery could give a rat’s fuck about that jewboy who died on the cross…

POLLY: What was the experience of working on THE FOLD like?

JEREMY: The script by the dynamic duo Polly Frost and Ray Sawhill (what I could understand of it not being of the virtual reality generation) was genius. From the first time I saw “Sex Scenes” I knew Polly Frost was on to something: subversive erotica. And in THE FOLD Polly and Ray have created a blend of sci fi and erotica to create a story which undermines the encroachments into our lives of the moral majority, the Christian Right or however you want to label it. Both THE FOLD and SEX SCENES explode the “me”, the “X :and whatever generations in their sole - ar systems. Their masturbatory, narcissistic quest for sex with others that they would prefer to be having with themselves. And let me add as a final burst that, Polly’s prose erotica is hot even for a queer guy like me. She sizzles. Ouch!

POLLY: Thank you! It’s a privilege to work with you, Jeremy! What about Matt Lambert?

JEREMY: This soft-spoken young film maker is already a master of his craft. He had every shot outlined and ready for every day. And he got every one of those shots. Even in the sub freeze of the castle, his ability to keep everything together demanded the same from all of us. He got what he wanted by paying attention to the demands of the situation and the need of the people he was working with. My big press conference scene was shot a day after I lost my second mother (step-mother if you will). I told this to Matt — in case I would need to “take a moment” at some point for myself.” He was so grateful to me for showing up. And told me to feel free to take what time I needed. It was a huge shoot with a lot of people and I am not one to make scenes. But his understanding so immediately created a comfort zone for me that the rest of the day proceeded without a hitch. Thanks to Matt I may have turned in one of my best pieces of work on film — to date. Directors who bring the best out of actors and capture it on the celluloid are simply the best.

As for science fiction, the world is science fiction to me. I am a technologically challenged romantic who belongs back in Paris at the turn of the 19th century. I had never heard of Aspergers Syndrome before my audition. I don’t know nothing about birthing virtual reality figures. I do like ATMS and unlike Mr. McCain, I know how to use a computer.

POLLY: What are your current projects?

JEREMY: I am waiting for one to take me by surprise. And since I don’t know what it is, talking about it would only jinx it.

STEPHANIE SELLARS plays FBI agent, KIM ZIEGLER, in THE FOLD. She also plays one of the ’70’s style Swedish Erotica Babes who deliciously enters JEF GARAWAY‘S New Jersey hot tub.

Red-haired with a beauty that’s reminiscent of 30’s Hollywood heroines, Stephanie is a writer and film director as well as an actress, known for her New York Press sex column and for her NYC evenings of Dorothy Parker. POLLY FROST interviewed Stephanie about acting in THE FOLD.

POLLY FROST: How do you see your character in THE FOLD?

STEPHANIE SELLARS: Agent Kim Ziegler is a bit like Bette in The L Word…super femme, yet masculine in her professional demeanor. A true kink beneath the slick dark suit. And she has a terrible weakness for hot sexy babes, a weakness that often gets in the way of “doing the right thing.” Although sometimes, she is loathe to admit…the right thing involves a strap-on.

POLLY: What was the experience of working on THE FOLD like?

STEPHANIE: Since I had worked with Polly and Ray on Sex Scenes, and with Matt on one of my own film projects (Julie and the Clown), I had no fear jumping into The Fold. Not only was everyone talented and professional, we all had a tremendous amount of fun, even when I nearly got frostbite from doing an outdoor masturbation scene in ten degree weather. I was really impressed with the smartness of the story, the social commentary, and the boldness of the erotic elements. All that and it’s hilariously entertaining. I also enjoyed playing two contrasting roles…going from a ditzy Swedish babe moaning in a suburban hot tub to super serious Agent Ziegler was a thrill for me as an actress.

POLLY: What are your current projects?

STEPHANIE: I just did an artist residency at Yaddo where I worked on a screenplay and some other writing. I write an erotic blog called Lust Life based on my experiences in the New York alternative sex world. As an actress, I’ve been performing in readings such as The Potable Dorothy Parker (which I also produce) and Forbidden Kiss, an erotic series at Stage Left Studio. In the fall, I will be starting a new life as a graduate film student at Columbia University.

I look forward to watching The Fold sweep across the nation. May The Fold be with you all.

And we’ve packed it full of as much sex, comedy, and existentialism as you can fit into ten minutes, then topped the whole thing off with a climax of truly cosmic proportions.   All for you!  Click now!
