The Fuse

The Fuse is set in the Golden Age of Hollywood. Kitselman’s main character, Jedediah Strong, simultaneously seduces, and then convinces, three young women to accompany him to the Nevada desert where, in the company of seasoned actresses and charismatic men living outside of society, he teaches them about love and sex whilst opening their eyes to their essential selves.

Woven into this tale are ideas of a utopian society, of breaking away from the norms of society and the concept of ‘living in fire’ experienced as excitement, adventure, passion which Strong seeks to ignite in these three young women. If they have dynamite in them, he certainly has the fuse!
