The
twist - if that’s not twisted enough - is that everyone speaks
as if they were trapped in a 1970s blaxsploitation film.
"I’ve studied film history," says writer/director/producer
Mark Kenneth Woods (who also plays Pimp). "In the ‘70s, there
were a number of films targeting black audiences where black heroes
fought white oppressors. I wanted to apply that formula to homos."
"It’s entertaining - and stylish."
His cross-dressing co-star is Vancouver landmark Cotton of the House
of Venus.
Launching Mon, Nov 19, a new episode of Pimp And Ho, running from 90
seconds to two and half minutes, will follow each week (till Dec 17).
Next summer, Woods plans to do another Pimp And Ho series a la James
Bond; the grad student at York University hopes to use them as his thesis.
The show is available on Wayoutwest TV, a Vancouver-based website featuring
all-queer original programming (in QuickTime and Real Player formats);
it began earlier this year with West of Denman, a soap opera set in
Vancouver’s gay neighbourhood.
