"Phone sex grandma" director leading in Seventh District Democratic primary

Actor/director and occasional politician Jack Truman is ahead in the Seventh District Congressional Democratic primary, with about 26 percent of the vote in, Truman has received 44.45 percent to 29.38 percent for Ron Lapham, and 26.17 percent for Charles Christup.
Truman is the director of the independent film, "Phone Sex Grandma," with a screenplay written by his mother, Opal Dockery, who also played the title role. For a time, Ms. Dockery was a candidate for the Sixth District Congressional seat.
As I noted in the March 27 Turner Report:

"Phone Sex Grandma" was featured recently at the Slamdance Film Festival in Los Angeles. According to the festival website, it was produced by Truman and Ms. Dockery, written by Ms. Dockery, edited by Truman, scored by Truman (to prevent any misunderstandings, that means he wrote the music) and stars Ms. Dockery. The film's description says it is about a "60-something grandma working a phone sex line in a small Southern ghost town."
According to one online critic, the movie featured "nine minutes of an older, homely looking woman (Opal Dockery) sitting around performing sex calls for work to various callers while she goes about her chores." According to the critic, the film includes a scene in which Ms. Dockery tells a caller about her vagina while reading "The Origin of Species" by Charles Darwin.
"Son of a Stripper" apparently will be an autobiographical story, according to an article in the Feb. 3 St. Louis Post-Dispatch, in which Ms. Dockery said she had worked more than 20 years as a stripper. "And she did it while raising a son, who just happens to be the filmmaker, Jack Truman," the article said. 'They are now trying to develop a feature film based on their life together, called "Son of a Stripper.' "
