Prey for Rock & Roll

Streaming video - 2003

Based on Cheri Lovedog’s autobiographical stageplay, PREY FOR ROCK & ROLL, stars Gina Gershon as Jacki, a rocker who’s hitting her “I’m still here” years and worrying that she may never make it big. Also starring Drea de Matteo, Lori Petty, Shelly Cole, Marc Blucas, and Ivan Martin, the film marked the feature directing debut of veteran music supervisor Alex Steyermark. PREY FOR ROCK & ROLL had its world premiere at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival and went on to play major festivals worldwide before a limited release in fall of 2003. Gershon sings all the film’s songs (produced by Stephen Trask of Hedwig and the Angry Inch fame), backed by an all-star band of women alt-rockers. A film ahead of its time, PREY FOR ROCK &am...p; ROLL was embraced by mainstream and alternative media alike, and immediately established itself as an LGBTQ touchstone film and a rock and roll cult classic.
