Nimble fingers wrap small pieces of yarn around canvas and tie a knot. Up close is a small collection of colors: puce, vermillion, fuchsia, and chocolate. Step back and a sexy, provocative woman emerges. Whitney Lee is a hooker.

As a little girl she made a latch-hook rug of a pink heart with "LOVE" spelled across it. Now the Austin-based artist uses the kitschy craft to depict naked ladies of all shapes, sizes, and ethnicities in a positive and empowering way. One of Whitney's first rugs depicted a classical reclining nude and was based on a real photograph of nude model Sydney Moon.

In the film, Whitney and Sydney meet for the first time and start a dialogue about images of women, personal pressures, and the value of their work.

Jeff Hoferer’s Dallas, Texas Web Series “Dallywood” Shines A Satirical Light on The Dallas Acting Community.

Short Film Texas (SFT): What is your new web series “Dallywood” about?
Jeff Hoferer (JH): The series is about Dallas, Texas actors and how our acting/film community has taken on a life of it’s own.  The cast is made up primarily of myself and my other local actor friends.  We all play ourselves, or an over-the-top version of ourselves, as it were.  There are some amazingly talented actors that home base out of Dallas - so I’ve got a great talent pool to choose from.

SFT:  I’m assuming the series is based on real life experiences.
JH: It is definitely a parody of what we go through on a day to day basis.  Being an actor in a smaller market is a unique experience.  I lived in Los Angeles for almost six years - so I’ve seen both sides of the coin.

SFT:  Why should we tune in to watch your web series?
JH: Because it’s kickass.  I’m sorry, I should be more humble - because it’s better than The Bachelorette.
