The Yum Yum Girls

Don't let the title fool you. This is not a porn film. In fact the title has little to do with the movie. It's about a small town girl (Michelle Dawn) who comes to New York City, hoping to become a fashion model, like millions of other pretty girls. She goes through the rigors of trying to get a portfolio done and become noticed by producers, some of whom are willing to help,,, for a price. Some of the scenes of girls auditioning for jobs are pretty funny. The producers are portrayed quiet accurately, sometimes a bit too accurately. The film is kind of depressing at times as the main character suffers a lot of pitfalls. Still, it's an interesting look at the modelling industry and fairly well done considering the amateur cast. Michelle Dawn is pretty good in the lead but oddly, never made another movie which is sad when you think of how many untalented actresses there are out there in TV and film,

It's your old friend Debi Zimmerman - Assistant Film Editor e-mailing to say hi to all my friends on the crew especially Joe Zito the real editor, Steven Wexler, Jim, and of course Bobby Zito. It was a zany time in the editing room at 1600 Broadway, New York. The editing was top-notch and Joe Zito was inspirational. We worked really hard. We enjoyed every minute of it. Check out the part in the film where they interview some women and the women pop on and off the screen. It's very cool. I haven't seen this editing style more than a few times ever. Thanks to the Carnegie Deli and the delivery woman we survived the long hours. I have changed my name to Debi Weinberg and I opened my own film company Dandelion Film Productions. Hopefully I'll be doing something soon. Peace Debi
