Animated comedy starring famous prostitute, Carol Leigh (also known as Scarlot Harlot) and her mom, about Leigh's efforts to obtain respectability as an artist, and to secure funding for a video about her mother's mink. In a parallel tale, Leigh's mom (and co-star) Augusta reminisces about how she "saved and suffered" to buy a mink stole to impress her mother. Is this movie about the Harlot's favorite subject, sex work? Judge for yourself! Featured at American Film Institute's National Video Festival, the Jewish Video Festival (winning Honorable Mention), Video In's Jewish Film Fest in Vancouver, the Mill Valley Film Festival and Syracuse University's Matrilineage Festival. Director's Citation award at Black Maria Film Festival, and Second place for non-fiction at the American Film Institute's SONY Visions of U.S. Video Contest. (15 minutes)

Tune into the Scarlot Harlot Video Festival for a raw, unfiltered tour through the Bay Area's most vital and overlooked cultural scenes. Hosted by the inimitable Scarlot Harlot, also known as Carol Leigh, this podcast serves as a living archive for the region's multicultural, sexually diverse, and politically charged artistic underground. Each episode feels like a backstage pass, offering an intimate and irreverent point of view you simply won't find elsewhere. As mainstream media increasingly echoes corporate agendas, this series provides a crucial counter-narrative, challenging rigid conventions around sexuality, aesthetics, and technology with humor and sharp insight.
