Set in 1965, a time of glamorous jet travel and less-than-ideal attitudes towards women at work, this short from California by seasoned actress and writer
Honey Lauren pokes and prods in the right areas. A leering male photographer finds willing subjects in two bubbly young flight attendants, but just when you think someone should expropriate his camera and send him packing, the women demonstrate that he who plays a game can also be the one who is getting played.
Lauren hails from the gorgeous Los Angeles seaside community of
Pacific Palisades, and it shows in her work's impressive aesthetic sensibility, from sharp-eyed cinematic choices down to minute details of the era. This is eye candy, indeed, but it's also a reminder that he who self-indulges in sweets may end up with a toothache.
Or a lifelong row of false teeth. You can watch the trailer here (parental discretion advised):
