MILLIE BARTLETT loves her chickens almost as much as her husband. Millie, a chicken farmer in financial straits, agrees to be on a reality show hosted by ANGELICA LOVECRAFT, a New Age fitness guru. Her show, Cut The Crap, is an East meets West blending of Zen & Capitalism where Angelica identifies, isolates and eliminates the crap in people’s lives. Millie thinks she’s found the solution to all her problems. But when Angelica suggests that her husband, AL, may be a piece of the crap she should jettison, a clash of opposites ensues and Millie realizes she’s let a wolf into the henhouse!

THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS is an independent feature film being produced in Jacksonville, Florida, by KillaCozzy Productions and Chance in Hell Productions. At its core, it’s the magnificent love child of of two beloved ’80s film genres—the teen romance/drama, made popular by director John Hughes; and the slasher, made popular by films like Halloween and A Nightmare on Elm Street. In other words, it’s the horror film that cares about its characters and telling an honest story.
