Income Tax Amendments Act, 2006 law (Bill C-10) that could restrict tax benefits for films whose content the federal government deemed objectionable. These concerns were particularly prompted by the casting of Sasha Grey, but director Lee Demarbre retorted, "I don't want to make a porn movie. I want to make a movie with Sasha Grey. I want to take her right out of the porn genre."Premise
Television news celebrity April Carson (Grey) turns to the services of
private investigator Isaac Beaumonde (Jesse Buck) to seek her missing sister, a stripper known as Gigi Spot (Jennilee Murray ). [cite web | url=http://jennileemurray.blogspot.com/2008/05/these-days.html | title=These Days | first=Jennilee | last=Murray | date=24 May 2008 | accessdate=2008-07-28 ] Carson assumes a role in a horror movie in the process, eventually learning that the movie's director, Able Whitman (Hess), is not only the culprit, but that he has rendered her sister's body into props for the production.

Meanwhile, detective Beaumonde pursues an increasingly deadly and grisly case. [ [http://www.imagination-llc.com/Smash_Cut/ Imagination Worldwide: "Smash Cut" synopsis] ]References
