ACOLYTES Director Jon Hewitt Gets Dirty With X

Oh, Jon, you have created a dirty, dirty poster for your new film and I thank you for it.  After turning heads around the globe with his hard edged teen serial killer picture Acolytes a couple years back, writer-director Jon Hewitt is preparing to launch production on his next feature.  Titled simply X it will be a foray into the underworld of Australia's sex trade.

Holly Rowe's retiring, kissing her callgirl life goodbye. She just has to get through her last night on the job. Shay Ryan's a teenage runaway, broke and alone. She just has to get through her first night as a streetwalker. Then fate throws them together on a job that goes horribly wrong and they're trapped on an out-of-control roller-coaster ride through the twilight zone of sexfor-
sale. X is a sizzling adults-only thriller about love, chance, escape and the oldest profession experienced by two women on a night that will change their lives forever.

Slated to shoot in early 2010, financing has just been locked on the film with pre-sales due to launch at the coming American Film Market.
