Reel Savages

After producing a successful underground snuff movie in which the lead actress is raped and killed, Brazilian Miguel returns to Sao Paulo pretending to be American director Michael Tracey and convinces his partner Bob Channing to cast and hire a crew to produce another movie. With attractive salaries, they hire the broken cinema technician Edson Lima and his assistant Juarez. Together, they cast stripper/hooker Lia de Souza; decadent former actress Taty Ibanez; aspiring actress Gloria Verdi; Miss Sao Paulo contestant Maria Rosa; and an actor interned in a mental institution, Sergio Bandeira. The group moves to the small town of Limeira believing they will secretly shoot porn. When Bob falls in love with Lia, he tries to convince Michael to forget the snuff and avoid her death. But Michael is reluctant to give up his project.
