Lisa Hammer's entire catalog of films is being
released by BLOODSTREAMTV.COM, a competitor to Shudder! |
Seasons One and Two Available Streaming:
Great Kills is a dark comedy, mockumentary satire about a documentary crew that follows a lonely contract killer, Tom's Lynch, (Steve Stanulis) from Great Kills, Staten Island.
The show portrays Tom as a lonely but likable individual as he navigates his secret life as a contract killer. Meanwhile, the filmmakers behind the documentary are cynical, dispassionate people, unaffected by the violence they document. Tom's world is thrown into chaos as it becomes clear that someone is on to him.
The documentary crew become entangled in Tom's plight and their need to ’stay objective’ goes out the window as they are all the target of a mysterious plot.

POX : Quit Your Screamin’ and Start Streamin’!
"Listen up! ‘Cause in case you haven’t heard . . . POX...Written and directed by the wildly talented, wicked creative, and impressively prolific singer / song-writer / musician / thespian / all-around Uh-Huh, Don’t-You-Wish-You-Were-Her phenomenonicon Miss Lisa Hammer" -- By Clint Catalyst |
--- "I absolutely love Lisa’s work, and POX stands out as one of my favorites in her portfolio. Variety shows have always been a point of interest for me, so naturally POX just furthers my desire to produce one of my own. It also displays a high level of collaboration with Doc Hammer, who was not only in three bands with Lisa (in which he contributed vocals and played a wide variety of instruments), but also acted in many of her works and provided animation via AstroBase Go!. Pretty cool to be able to see what artists were doing and what they looked like prior to whatever they’re on today.
Basically, POX is damn clever in its production and absolutely hilarious in execution - POX himself (played by an enigmatic creature called “Alizarinkryz”) is so spot-on, I doubt he’s even acting. He simply is, he simply be, he is divine." -- Filmme-Fatale - Read more here: filmme-fatale

"While the concept of combining a real life rock band (notable examples being The Beatles and The Monkees) with a fictional narrative in movies and TV shows is nothing new, MAYBE SUNSHINE is probably the only web series in existence that manages to do both. For Wilson, both its expansive scope of production, and its ambition to mix great music with uproarious comedy, are what truly sets his series apart from the rest."
"Guy and John are joined by directors/actors Levi Wilson and Lisa Hammer to talk about their endeavors, including the new Maybe Sunshine webseries"

"I was walking around Shock Pop and looked to my Left and saw a picture of Triana Orpheus from the Venture Bros cartoon. I was like I know that and saw a woman standing there. So I went over and asked if she did the voice and she did and that's how I met Lisa Hammer who on all accounts kicks ass. She is a musician and a filmmaker and that's all wins in my book. Check her site and music."

"You’ve created an amazing, voluminous body of highly distinctive work, and I am fairly dazzled... One could point out might be a greater darkness, almost nihilism in your sensibility which I relate to and also identify with many artists our age. “Grunge-iness” for lack of a better word, deriving a lot of humor and freedom from bringing an irreverent “fuck it” to many aspects of the process. Maybe I’m tipping my hand a little, but them’s the beginnings of how I would grope toward describing your work."
