GO GO REJECT is based on writer/actor Heath Daniels' real life tragic attempt to become a Hollywood go-go dancer.
Heavily influenced by his childhood love of "Flashdance" (and his natural talent for showing off) Heath tried his luck at go-go dancing only to be told he was a terrific performer but too skinny to succeed.
Kicked to the go-go curb, Heath used those ego-bruising encounters to create a vibrant, hilarious tale of self-empowerment and dance triumph.
Heath Daniels is an on-camera entertainment host specializing in red carpet, film festival, and pop culture events. His irreverent personality is on full display while exploring a variety of topics including: the underground transsexual/drag queen movement at The Ultra Fabulous/Beyond Drag Film Festival, producing and hosting an investigative segment on the grassroots NO H8 photo campaign, co-hosting an LA travelogue with Candy Spelling for the LA Tourism Board, and hosting the upcoming Indie Quest Film Tournament.
He still wants to be a go-go dancer.
Michael J. Saul has been an artist and filmmaker since he was a teen. His short films including HOVER (1996), have been seen in film festivals around the world.
Michael’s two feature films, CRUSH (2010) and TRUE LOVE (2004), are poignant anthologies depicting gay life in the 2000s, and are available on DVD.
Born in Columbus, Ohio, Michael grew up a gay, suburban teen in the turbulent 70s, and uses his personal experience and memories of that difficult time as the impetus for much of his work.
GO GO REJECT marks Michael’s return to comedy and is his second project with Heath Daniels. Michael currently lives in Los Angeles, where he paints, writes and produces visual images for films, museums and live programming. He is also a multi-award winning producer of corporate videos and has several future projects in development.
