30 hours of DV video exploring these issues are "in the can."

The time spans from the week preceding going under the knife, through the days and weeks following the surgery. We see Lulu breathlessly explaining the operation while furiously working out; applying a gooey lime green Aztec clay facial; reflecting on fear of aging on the beach; challenging an internet letter from a dear "old-old-OLD" friend accusing him of " mutilation with full anesthesia " (see below ); shopping for a post surgery outfit a la Liz Taylor in ASH WEDNESDAY;displaying his face right after surgery a la Divine in FEMALE TROUBLE; posing for a wild photo shot 48 hours after going underthe knife; chitchatting with friends on Castro St with veils covering the scars.Throughout he attempts to uncover the reasons behind this decision, with sometime hysterical , sometimes bittersweet results. For underneath the camp facade lies a real vulnerability, and a video addressing what it is like to get older for both gay men and citizens at- large in these youth crazed societies.

The target audiences are gay, boomers, doc interested, and everyone dealing with aging.
