In Jeremy Carr’s surreal thriller Ice Cream Ants, my evil seductress character (Mona) is seducing Lover (Marcus Ashley) and my face suddenly turns into a strange mask—of myself. You’ve ALL been asking about the Jill Tracy MASK!

Molded from my own face (talk about panic-inducing-hard-to-breathe endeavors) by SFX master Jonathan Horton, the mask scene became my favorite memory of the film shoot.

Watch this special behind the scenes video memoir of creating the Mona character, and just how we shot this wonderful creepy scene in Ice Cream Ants—plus my best maniacal laugh…

Transformation complete! The mask was carefully placed on my face during the scene to appear like I had turned into some sort of eerie erotic mannequin, I couldn’t see a thing.

Ice Cream Ants went on to win several film festival awards, including the Dewar’s Grand Prize. (Yes, lots of complimentary scotch was delivered.)

The film features my song “Pulling Your Insides Out.” We shot the new music video for the tune— to include with Jeremy Carr’s new director’s cut which is now available for you online! Read about the making of the elegant nightmarish “Pulling Your Insides Out” in the midst of a New York lightning storm in an earlier BLOG!

CAUTION— could be nightmare including…save it for a sweet bedtime tale.

UPDATE: 7/22/13— Since this original post, Jill Tracy Kickstarter Campaign has launched and will be taking donations for this project for 30 days. Visit the Campaign Page HERE.

 

I can’t tell you how honored I am to work again with brilliant filmmaker Jeremy Carr, plus bring to life one of the favorite songs I have ever written. And for the first time, YOU can be an actual part of the process! We will be launching my debut Kickstarter campaign soon, so you will be able to participate, see sneak previews, snag rewards, and help us manifest this dark gem!

You may recall a few years ago, my adventures as the sinister seductress Mona in Jeremy’s surreal thriller Ice Cream Ants— (alongside Marcus Ashley (Laurel Canyon, Bones, CSI) and the legendary Tom Noonan (Heat, Last Action Hero, House of the Devil.)
Watch the original Ice Cream Ants trailer HERE.

After winning several film festival awards, grand prizes and accolades, Ice Cream Ants is slated to be released to the public for the first time with a new director’s cut this fall!
“Pulling Your Insides Out“ is the end title song to the film, so Jeremy thought it befitting to create a new music video to coincide with its online release.

“Pulling Your Insides Out” has always been my favorite song on my album Diabolical Streak. In fact, that album has been getting quite the resurgence lately as Showtime Networks chose the track “Evil Night Together” as the campaign song promoting the wildly anticipated final season of Dexter.
I am “Dexter’s Final Symphony!“
So as they say— “everything old is new again.” It’s been thrilling for me to re-inhabit “Pulling Your Insides Out” and (with your kindness) unveil the beautifully eerie video it always deserved. This video has been shot (on location in New York City,) so this campaign is to enable Jeremy to edit, complete all post-production and digital transfer necessary.
