For Wild Rides, Hail Vespoli’s ‘ScrewberX’

LOS ANGELES—Smartphones, popular apps and the sharing economy may be staples of life for the social media generation, but in Dana Vespoli’s mind, they somehow lead to clown copulation. We see that and more comical weirdness in ScrewberX, the inventive director’s surreal look at hard-core sex in the world of ride sharing. Evil Angel will release the new movie February 24 on DVD and VOD, and it can be previewed now in a trailer at evilangelvideo.com. “I got the idea for ScrewberX after using Uber a lot for a month,” Vespoli revealed. “There were a lot of funny moments, with misunderstandings and/or stories about passengers being inappropriate or assholes. One day, stuck in traffic in an Uber, I thought, 'I’d love to do a porno social satire about everything I’ve experienced and heard.'” “This movie speaks in the language of the young, modern porn demographic,” opined Evil Angel Domestic Sales Manager Justin Rich, himself a Millennial. “For everyone in my generation, the fantasy is to hook up with their Uber driver or passenger. ScrewberX explores the possibilities very creatively; I like that each scene is a vignette with a different story. And Dana has cast talented performers that make crazy situations arousing.” ScrewberX provides eye-catching views for passengers coming along on the wild ride. Late for an acting audition, fleshy, pale Sovereign Syre finds herself riding with goofy, inappropriately forward Steve Holmes. Beautiful, bitchy Hollywood exec Dana DeArmond gets stuck with bearded, new age bullshitter Tommy Pistol, but she gets interested when he mentions his high online rating for pussy eating. Nerdy, religious Chad Diamond likes to spread the word to his passengers, and wait’ll he gets a load of outrageous porn stars Layla Price and Cherie DeVille. Vespoli saves her most surreal creation for last. Appearing as a beautiful, new Screwber driver, the director finds passengers DeArmond, Holmes and Mark Wood in creepy circus clown regalia. ScrewberX is the hip hook-up for horny travelers. In Vespoli’s hands, a hot ride can be a hell of a trip. Download press release materials for Dana Vespoli’s ScrewberX here.
