Emma is costumed and ready for her cult meeting but she’s
got the wrong address. Uncomfortable in her wig and horse hooves, Emma hangs out at a local bar, not sure what to do.
She bumps into Lem, an actor from a movie she worked on years ago. He doesn’t recognize her but he does like the cut
of her hoof. What follows is a bizarre date between a script supervisor in a costume and a minor movie star. Funny,
unsettling and a little creepy, HORSEFINGERS 3: STARFUCKER provides a life lesson to be remembered.
Maria Thayer (Tamela from "Strangers With Candy") and Adam Rothenberg are right on target,
playing it utterly straight as this strange and sexy story gets increasingly surreal. Thayer's increasing discomfort as
Rothenberg pressures her to play horsey in a restaurant is painfully raw.

"Like the magic pelt that hides Catherine Deneuve from her lecherous
father in Jaques Demi’s Donkey Skin, a Horsefinger’s hooves are a symbol of defiance, an anarchic battle cry, existing in the gray area between
point of pride and mark of shame."
