PREMIERE SPECIAL: Mammas is the third entry in actress Isabella Rossellini’s daring and darling Green Porno series of shorts, in which she dresses up as various creatures to explain their natural behaviors. Anyone can launch a web series – but when the star of Blue Velvet does it, she uses an actual giant web, and dresses up as a spider. As a Mother’s Day treat, Sundance is showing these Mammas web shorts as a special, and it’s definitely something to watch with the whole family, bizarre as it is. There hasn’t been an actress with this original a vision for a family TV series since Shelley Duvall launched Faerie Tale Theatre. For a taste of Mammas, see Video Worth Watching.
