Funny Promo With A Cat

This latest promo video for Plain Jane The SHOCKUMENTARY is a great example of the random quirkiness that is my life.  We did not plan to actually have a cat in this video.  However, my camera whore kitten can't fathom why a camera would be directed toward anyone other than him.  His timing was perfect too!

Laugh Until You Pee Your Pants!

Dear Friends, Fans, and Supporters,

On this Thanksgiving Day, I am very grateful that we can finally share Plain Jane The SHOCKUMENTARY with you!  I am proud to say that I have accomplished more in my lifetime than was ever expected. However, this movie is by far my greatest and most challenging accomplishment.

My main goal for making this film is to inspire people of all abilities to overcome their perceived obstacles and truly embrace their authenticity.

I understand that within the disabled community, the word “inspiration” is often viewed as being condescending and rude.  Personally, I am not offended by it if it is used in the proper context.   Here are a couple examples.
  • UNACCEPTABLE CONTEXT - “Aw, look at you buying bread! You are so brave and inspirational.”
  • ACCEPTABLE CONTEXT – “I was always too afraid to get on the dance floor until I saw you at the club, dancing in your wheelchair.  You are really inspirational.”

Don’t worry. If you are not offended by the word “inspiration,” there are lots of other things in Plain Jane The SHOCKUMENTARY that will likely offend you AND make you laugh until you pee your pants…sometimes simultaneously.

Seriously though, this is indeed a very special Thanksgiving Day. I am deeply grateful for Tom Trainer, who made Plain Jane The SHOCKUMENTARY a work of art instead of just a documentary. He captured the true essence of who I am, in a way that words can’t describe.  He is the Director, Producer, Photographer, Videographer, Editor, Boom-Guy, Set Director, Narrator, Wardrobe Consultant, Trigger-Puller, Chauffeur, and Bodyguard.  Also, I am eternally grateful for the support of our vast community that spans across the country and beyond. We could not have reached this enormous goal without your support!

Thank you all,

Jane Hash aka Plain Jane

p.s. You should order a copy so you can tell me what you think.  I can't wait to hear!

What makes this movie a “SHOCKUMENTARY?”

Hello there, friends, fans, and amazingly supportive community! Questions about Plain Jane The SHOCKUMENTARY are starting to roll in and we are very happy to respond! There is one question we are asked the most so we decided this was a good place to provide an answer.

Q. What makes this movie a “SHOCKUMENTARY?”

A. This movie is a “SHOCKUMENTARY” because although it’s wacky and entertaining, it is a documentary. None of the characters are fictional. Every topic is presented with either a big dose of dark humor, obscure imagery, awesome original music, or all three. Other than the obvious dream sequence where Jane carries out an act of revenge, none of the scenarios are contrived.

There are plenty of documentaries about spirituality, sexuality, addiction, recovery, health, family dynamics, disability, dwarfism, activism and other subjects that many find uncomfortable yet inspiring.  What makes this movie a "SHOCKUMENTARY" is that it combines ALL of these topics in one film...plus a few surprises.

Excitement & Gratitude

Words fail to express how excited we are to finally be able to share our movie with all of you!  We reached out to several potential corporate sponsors for financial support in making this film a success.  Nearly all of them admitted Plain Jane The SHOCUMENTARY was a fantastic idea, but they were all afraid to have their company's name associated with it because of the diverse subject matter. 

Fortunately, we have an amazingly supportive community who saw our potential and believed in our project!  You are why we were able to complete this one-of-a-kind movie.  We've all made such a great team thus far, just you and us, let's keep it that way. Plain Jane The SHOCUMENTARY is only available through this website.  You order it and we ship it!  

THANK YOU!

The first shipment goes out on release day - 12.2.2013

"Must say I really wasn't sure what to expect when I went to the premier with my girlfriend. I had heard about Jane but never talked to or met her. From a non bias view, during and after seeing her movie I must say it is EXTRAORDINARY! Very informative and well put together. AMAZING how much Jane has been thru and the way she defied all the odds to be where she is today. I would recommend this movie to anyone. You'll reflect on your own life and appreciate what you have and know you can do anything, no matter the obstacles if you put your mind to it. So glad to meet you Jane and Tom you put together one hell of a documentary!"
