Parking a semi on 7th Ave 9:30PM on a Friday night! WTF!!! Blocking traffic on 7th Ave. Then the drivers had the nerve to argue with city officials. The police were then called. So much for being a good neighbor in The Historical Ybor City District.  We don’t care how big you think you are this was just plain rude! SHAME ON 7-11

A NEW MOVIE???… YES
 
Del Shores has written the screenplay and along with his producing partners Louise H Beard & Emerson Collins, the quest to secure financing is off and running!

Our goal is to shoot in Dallas, Texas this summer with his amazing Sordid Lives actors!

By joining this event, you have become a Sordid Supporter! We ask that you share the event, so the momentum will continue and grow. Share it with other Sordid Lives fans and is it spreads far and wide, we know we will find those people with the enthusiasm, financial ability and passion for the message of equality to help all of us make this a reality. By simply joining, sharing and loudly saying “I am a Sordid Supporter” you are a part of making this film happen!

Right now our budget is in place, our legal ducks are in a row and we simply need to secure more investors to green light the picture.

We have investors on board with OVER 1/2 of the budget we need to green light the film and feel very positive as more and more interest is expressed. ($25K is the minimum investment opportunity.)

A investor package can be requested by emailing:
delshores@me.com.

We will update this event with news, pictures and fun Sordid tidbits along the way. Thanks for being a Sordid Supporter!

Del Shores, Emerson Collins & Louise H. Beard

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Sordid Lives hit the big screen in 2000 and became a huge cult hit phenomenon with its hilarious and authentic exploration of the antics of the residents of Winters, TX. The film was followed by Sordid Lives: The Series, a prequel for LOGO. Now, after years of fans asking for a follow up with these beloved characters, Del Shores has written a sequel, the final chapter in the Sordid Lives saga – A Very Sordid Wedding.

The original film explored the coming out story and how conservative southern families deal with gay family members. The sequel picks up 16 years later and continues the comedic exploration of important issues by addressing marriage equality. The characters audiences fell so in love with have all moved forward to new places, some good, some ridiculous, and as always with this colorful cast – always entertaining.

Del Shores has spent this entire year writing the new script, bringing back all of these beloved characters and carefully shaping what they are each up to after so many years. The story is once again hilarious, touching and addressing an issue affecting LGBT people and their communities and families with Del’s trademark subversive humor and heart.

You Can Not make this Up.

We so LOVE Miss Amy DeMilo!!! This weekend in the Ybor parking garage she was a Guardian Angel to a very lucky man in trouble. Here is the photo & what Amy posted on facebook…..

On my way home in the parking garage in the elevator up to 4th floor door opens he falls in!! I freaked out it was like a movie he was propped up against the doors and just fell backwards in. I thought he was dead! But no just passed out. I did call 911 and had police and fire trucks there in 2 min!!! Didn’t want to leave him alone!! So if anyone knows him please let me know he survived!!!! smile emoticon my good deed!! Sorry for posting your pic you Hott mess but you were cute!!!
