MultiVisionnaire has acquired the worldwide right to Steve Balderson’s fourth feature film STUCK!. The faithful homage to film noir women-in-prison films stars Academy-nominated Karen Black, Susan Traylor, Jane Wiedlin (the Go-Gos), Mink Stole, Stacy Cunningham, Starina Johnson and Pleasant Gehman. It’s the story of Daisy, an innocent young woman framed for killing her mother. Condemned by the press and the public, Daisy is found guilty of murder and sentenced to die by hanging. This jazzy, finger-snapping, broads-behind-bars film is a throwback to another era, with terse Tennessee Williams-style verbal sparring, non-stop action and enough bad-girl jailhouse hi-jinks to make the audience lose the distinction between good and evil.
Steve Balderson, whose second feature FIRECRACKER was given by Roger Ebert a special jury award on Ebert’s list of Best Films, is one of today’s most talented visual storyteller. Balderson is highly praised by international film critics as “one of the great cult filmmakers of all time.”

STUCK! is also chosen by the American Cinematheque to showcase at the Hollywood landmark, Egyptian Theatre, on February 3rd, 2010. American Cinematheque screens the best of worldwide cinema, video and television from the past and present – ranging from the classics to the outer frontiers of the art form.
