The Butcher and the Housewife Festival Screenings:

Opening Night Selection - Rhode Island International Film Festival

Winner - Best Comedy Short - Houston International Film Festival

Winner - Audience Award - Frederick Film Festival

Premiered at the 2005 Gen Art Film Festival. Screened at the Seattle International Film Festival, Southside Film Festival and Hygenic Film Festival in Connecticut.

From "Rock You Like A Hurricane" to "Send Me an Angel," The Butcher and the Housewife is a fun, over-the-top musical featuring the music of The Scorpions.

The film tells the story of two of Allentown’s loneliest: Beverly and Pete. Beverly is stuck in a loveless marriage. The only thing she looks forward to each day is going to Ahart’s, the local grocery store, where she stocks up on ground beef, bacon, and mischievous glances from Pete, the butcher.

The Butcher and the Housewife features an incredible cast, including dancing housewives, baggers, and scanners.
