Directed by David Markey • 1984 • United States
Starring Jennifer Schwartz, Hilary Rubens, Janet Housden

Cast with members of the Los Angeles punk underground and shot guerrilla-style on the streets of Hollywood, Santa Monica, and Venice, this no-budget cult classic is a testament to the creativity and subversive spirit of disaffected kids raised on junk food and trash television and determined to stick it to the establishment. A warped, wild take on the classic rags-to-riches story, DESPERATE TEENAGE LOVEDOLLS follows teenage runaways Bunny (Hilary Rubens), Kitty (Jennifer Schwartz), and Patch (Janet Housden) as they form the all-girl band Lovedolls, contending with drugs, sleazy managers, and rival girl gangs on their road to punk stardom.
