SHE’S CLEAN – a Fifteen Minute Short Film by Jenn Harris – Shows up June 5 on Vimeo and Other Streaming Platforms

SHE’S CLEAN contains nudity and scenes of a sexual nature and is intended for mature audiences only. Says Star Jenn Harris: “I wanted to explore intimacy, intimate relations and sex on film in a way that I hadn’t seen captured before, with a female character in her sexual prime engaging in intimacy and sex without commenting on it, excusing it, or making fun of it.

Review in the works.

Reviewed is done from the point of view of a Cornell University Big Red Basketball Hall of Famer (who believes he has a wicked sense of humor) who almost made it through rookie camp of the old NBA Baltimore Bullets; got dis-invited from rookie camp of the Minnesota Pipers ABA team; struggled in what was once the Eastern Basketball League NBA minor league … played one season for the Sporting Club of Portugal basketball team and learned after a !@#$ season as an assistant CU basketball coach … that the Universe was possibly telling me that it was time to say goodbye to basketball and to seek and find another passion in journalism.
