"I was always fascinated by the infinite' strange and ′s
candalous′ ways that insects copulate."
- Isabella Rossellini
When Isabella Rossellini and The Sundance Channel set out to
make a series of short films for the internet about the sex lives
of animals' they had no idea what was in store.
GREEN PORNO' the colorful' indescribable' wonderfully odd shorts
became a sensation on the internet' receiving over 1.3 million
views and major national publicity including CNN' David Letterman'
The New York Times Magazine' Wired and the Wall Street Journal. The
overwhelming success of the shorts led Sundance to commission a
second GREEN PORNO series which is to focus on marine animals:
shrimp' squid seals etc. (The first series focused primarily on
insects)
Co-director Jody Shapiro has taken 125 arresting film stills of
Isabella dressed in animal costumes which are the centerpiece of
the book' along with narrative text describing the "love making"
process of each animal. Each chapter will also include a quirky'
freakonomics style one-sheet that includes surprising facts about
each species. GREEN PORNO also includes a DVD of both GREEN PORNO
series which are not available for sale elsewhere.
Provocative' hilarious' and truly one of a kind' GREEN PORNO is
a great gift--for readers of Michael Pollan and fans of independent
film alike. Isabella has committed to promoting the book at the
time of publication.
