Made by Memphis exploitation auteur JMM, BROAD DAYLIGHT features modern-day burlesque stars in a series of stag loops, all to a garage band soundtrack. |

Billed as the "film event for those who crave soemthing a little more visceral", the films toured together in Memphis, New Orleans, Park City, Austin and Los Angeles. |
