Starry Eyed: Katharine Pollock in-conversation with Jane Badler

From the outside, Addilyn Acker’s life is regimented and dull. In reality, she’s almost always immersed in the fictional world of her beloved film, breakaway indie hit and cult sci-fi Scarlett Fever.

Addilyn is the number one fan of Scarlett Fever’s handsome American director Josh ‘Jolly’ Courtney, and she spends untold hours moderating the fan site joshjollycourtney.com. Despite her unquestioning fealty and in-depth knowledge of everything Josh, she’s shocked to be invited to bring him on stage at that year’s biggest comic convention: New York City’s Cosmic Con.

When Addilyn leaves Australia for the first time and sees the glittering lights of NYC, it seems like her wildest dreams are coming true: including her more X-rated fantasies involving a very naked Josh. She makes a fast friend in potty-mouthed Brit backpacker Sally, gets happily lost in the Big Apple, and meets sweet comic book store owner Anthony.

Everything is rosy……
