JUNE 1, 2008: On April 14th I prematurely announced the completion of the editing of "THE CALISTRA ZIPPER STORY." As usual, my wild eagerness & supreme enthusiasm took over when I made this announcement, but in the cold light of day (or the harsh night in the screening room) I realized that I had to do additional work as the movie was NOT quite finished. Another few weeks of fine tune editing were required to really bring the movie to its true culmination. Now it is done, a labor of love that stretched from January 2007 when I first decided to make this movie, to June 1st, 2008 when I completed the editing. Ah, the long, long hours! Now I can sigh with relief . Now it is time to let the world judge this, my experiment into pop culture. I am blessed to have had the creative participation of such underground pop celebrities as Candice Cash and Sham of Hollywood as well as the incomparable Alexis Del Lago, that notoriously glamorous personality from Andy Warhol's Factory of the '60s. My deep gratitude goes out to all the 15 actors and to the musicians, tech support personnel, moral pillars, soothsayers and even the negative ones who spurred me on. I also thank the various non-human all-stars who contributed their talents to this worthy cinematic endeavor. Calistra's cause has been served to the best of our abilities and my modest hope (wretched word!) is that this unique movie will help mankind in its continuing struggles. The fact that the completion occurred on Marilyn Monroe's birthday solidifies my confidence in the merit and value of "THE CALISTRA ZIPPER STORY" as Calistra does indeed belong to that pantheon of eternal feminine beauty alongside Marilyn, Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Gloria Swanson, Pola Negri, Louise Brooks and Anna Nichole Smith.
