I made the first highschool shooter film. Brian you should play clips from my arrest! My movie star girlfriend took hours to bail me out. After I got arrested she went back to sleep then did her makeup got interviewed then bailed me out.
The fox is about two lesbians living on a farm and a male soldier infiltrates them. The prey is the same but a cat alien guy comes between them. It's completely bonkers.
