here's what cliff had to say about American Fabulous:
"American fabulous is a film Scott (Scott Hewicker, his equally amazing & talented husband)and I saw as part of the Frameline Film Festival in 1991. More a let-the camera-roll-on-this-entertaining-queen than a documentary, Jeffery Stouth spills tea from the backseat of a moving vehicle. Is she telling the truth, or spinning some country yarn? Who cares, she is fabulous."
Cliff Hengst is an artist who works and lives in San Francisco. He is currently working on a play for Machine Project with Asher Hartman which debuts in September.
Cliff is so humble and sent only that brief bio of himself the truth is he is a absolute gem of this city. Whether with his visual art, or performance, or comedy, or killer dj sets, everything he does hits its mark with such a distinct and soulful impact.
