Explore the infamous and intimate home movies of international supermodel Shaye Saint John documented by filmmaker Eric Fournier. Saint John, a walking miracle who replaced all her limbs with mannequin parts after being struck by a train, goes about her days in her Los Angeles apartment with her best friend and roommate, a burnt doll with magical powers, Kiki. Dizzying in it's detachment to reality and flashing with the bright colors of childhood, these rarely screened home movies definitely walk the fine line between madness and genius! A must-see outsider cinema classic!

“Using a term such as ‘one of a kind’ seems too overused and wasted in modern society, however with Shaye Saint John there simply cannot exist another of its kind.” - Jay Creepy, Severed Cinema
