Trailer: New Musical Thriller DANGER DIVA w/ Molly Sides of Thunderpussy

Robert McGinley, the writer, director, and star of the apocalyptic skate punk classic Shredder Orpheus is back with the brand new musical thriller Danger Diva, starring Molly Sides of Thunderpussy!

Writer/director McGinley’s influences for the film came mainly from cyberpunk literature and films; in particular, William Gibson’s Neuromancer and the science-fiction classic, Blade Runner. Further inspired by the Ella Fitzgerald Is it live, or is it Memorex commercial, Danger Diva explores the conflict between high tech vs. high touch, and what it means to be human in a digitally enhanced biotech future.

Music anchors these themes with an eclectic rocking score with songs by Seattle-based rock band Thunderpussy and composer Regan Remy.

In the midst of this rock ‘n roll saga, the audience will have an opportunity to ponder future technology nightmares like the use of enslaved human brains as external hard drive processors,” McGinley explains. “Or employing human offspring as vehicles for life extension.”

Synopsis:

In DANGER DIVA, audiences are taken on a dystopian journey into the near future with hard rock singer Devi Danger (played by Molly Sides) as she is coerced into becoming an electronically enhanced new-music diva. Her singing voice is used to control and energize the brains of indoctrinated employees (also known as “Brain Cattle”) that are being used as external processors for the advancement of corporate high tech clients. Operating in a digital sweatshop, these “Brain Cattle” process binary algorithms that serve as a chorus for Devi Danger.
