Sirens of the 23rd Century - When beauty is outlawed, only outlaws will be beautiful! Hyper-colorful, campy, kitschy and androgynous, this hit of the gay and lesbian film festival circuit is a neoclassical, sci-fi, fairytale satire set in the 23rd century after cosmetics and modeling have been outlawed by a fascist government regime. A small, feminine group of underground Beauty Renegades fights back, led by a fearless and epic amazon. Starring Rod Chaouqi, Paul D'Addario, Felecia Faulkner, Trevor Hale, Richard Harder (Star Trek IV), Rachel Klyce, Jim Letchworth, Marilyn Letchworth, Tina Morasco(TV's Angel and The O.C.), the notorious Omewenne, Nicole Stanton, and Jennifer Kroot who also wrote and directed the film.

"Camp of the highest order. Like a co-production between John Waters and Greg Araki." - Entertainment Today LA.

"Kroot has made a truly unique vision here, and it is a lot of fun. The cast of drag queens, some of them quite attractive, is bitchy perfection, and the dialogue is first rate." - Film Threat

"Enough shenanigans to keep viewers laughing for hours. (Kroot) takes Sirens places no other female filmmaker has dared tread." - Curve Magazine
