I'm a big fan of Rachel Alig, who is amazing in this, but all the actors do a fabulous job on this very stylish and sweet short film. Excellent writing and directing by Honey Lauren. As a production designer myself, I really appreciated the look of the film from design, costume, and cinematography. If you have twenty minutes, it's well worth the watch!

Wonderfully odd

Warning: Spoilers
Set in 1965, this movie is all about Fran and Marcy, two Fine Air stewardesses. Derrick is a British photojournalist who wants to interview them for his documentary.
The statement for the film claims that it "makes a contemporary socio-cultural statement regarding the meme of "the good girl, drawn bad." Wives of The Skies clarifies the impact of the overarching "men's gaze" which objectifies women as carnal sex objects men seek, while they look for love... along the way, addressing the primitive issue of Trust vs. Mistrust, Wives of The Skies displays the Japanese art of Kinbaku."
Yes - the Japanese BDSM art of tight binding.
It was written and directed by Honey Lauren, who was in Vice Academy 5 and 6 before starting to make her own films. She was inspired by the men who order the 1960's airline uniforms off of eBay, which sent her on the path of making this film.
This is a really intriguing film, shot well and I hope that it gets released soon. I don't know where you can find this movie to watch as of yet, as it was sent to us by its PR agency.
Wives of the Skies is the winner of 24 awards, including Best Film at the New York Cinematography Awards and Best Original Screenplay at the Indie X Film Festival.

A big fan

I got hooked on Rachel Alig's acting through Vet-TV and absolutely love her. As a fan or horror and the sociopath type movies I think she does very well in those roles.
This was a short movie, to my surprise, it ended and I was like wait, there has to be more. Loved it all the same.
