Triple Fisher: The Lethal Lolitas of Long Island (2012) dir. by Dan Kapelovitz LIVE Q+A!

FORMAT: BLU-RAY

ONCE, TWICE, THREE TIMES AN AMY.

In 1992, a suburban New York teenager named Amy Fisher captured the national media’s attention when she shot her lover’s wife in the face. This sordid tale of underage sex, aggravated assault, and Joey Buttafuoco managed to spawn not one, not two, but three separate made-for-TV movies. Drew Barrymore, Alyssa Milano and Noëlle Parker all took stabs at portraying the disturbed young lady, yet a true on-screen depiction of Amy Fisher has never emerged - until now. In this Rashomon of found footage film, director Dan Kapelovitz mind-melds the multiple melodramas into one ultimate metadrama mashup. ×FREE for members! Signup for membership HERE. ($5)
