Ron Moore at the Examiner.com wrote a wonderful, insightful piece on Cookies & Cream, which will have its NYC Premiere at the Anthology Film Archives, as part of the NewFilmmakers Summer Series Film Festival. The film will show on July 5th at 9pm. Here is some of it below:
"From Norma Rae to American Violet, film has attempted to portray the struggles of working mothers. The conflict between survival and dignity is heart wrenching as we see the desire for a better life and the difficult and unique choices faced by women in society as workers and as mothers. Cookies & Cream pulls off a rare feat as it deftly tells the story of an independent woman making her own way in a career that creates its own set of obstacles.
It’s almost cliché at this point. Take a beautiful woman with a job in the adult industry, throw in a stunning best friend, sprinkle in family and relationship complications and serve up hot. Hollywood loves to make films that satisfy the market’s salacious need to exploit women by wrapping the exploitation with a veneer of strength and dignity. It screams, we know you feel guilty and so do we, but you have needs and we need to make money on this project so we’ll throw in a little humanity to sate your conscience. Princeton Holt is an artist who refuses to give in to that trap. He has created a story on film, Cookies & Cream, and it’s clear that one thing is true: Holt has a moral center, and his characters will reflect his values. Put another way, Princeton Holt has integrity and it’s not for sale."
