Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me

Summary: An award-winning cult classic screwball comedy with a big heart. The film follows a small-time criminal hiding from his ex-fiancée and the law in an El Monte, CA trailer park. As he bides his time waiting for a phony passport, he meets an oddball cast of characters, and finds himself juggling the affections of two sisters. Official Selection at the **Seattle International Film Festival** and the **Palm Springs International Film Festival**. *"Move over, John Waters and Paul Bartel. There's a new, fresh auteur on the guilty pleasure/psychotronic/cult film block. Hershman ... manages to turn out a hilariously trashy, raunchy, dark, and thoroughly entertaining film that is uniquely his own. The strong points of Hershman's film are his wonderfully wacky story in combination with a terrific, top-notch cast whose performances easily render credible, slice-of-life images of life in the lower-class lane." - **The Austin Chronicle***
