Dallas Video Festival movie review: Hustler WP

Email Print Tell us your story Comment

UNLIKELY PALS: Skahead (Stovall, left) and Rolf.

This 19-minute short doesn’t shy away from dialogue that includes “faggot” and “nigger.” Hustler WP takes a “names will never hurt me” approach while following two Chelsea boys who are trying to score some Ecstasy for a night at The Roxy.

Rolf (Tony Lupinacci) and Skahead (Paul Oakley Stovall) are seemingly mismatched friends. White skinhead Rolf wears a swastika on his arm, and Skahead is a big, bald black dude in neo-Nazi suspenders and Doc Martins. Instead of getting bogged down by philosophies associated with their Aryan drag, Rolf and Skahead are what made George Jefferson and Archie Bunker so damn cute.

And Hustler WP is cute — especially with a soundtrack of ska, reggae and Larry Tee ditties, as well as a cameo by Sophia Lamar as Assumpta, the trashy tranny drug-dealer.

On Saturday, The Dallas Video Festival screens Hustler WP as part of their Shorts After Dark program. It’s the type of short made by first-time filmmakers. Although Craig Cobb wrote, produced, directed and edited Hustler WP in 2006, Casper Andreas takes an associate producer credit: Andreas gave us Slutty Summer and A Four Letter Word.
