When Timothy Carey died of a stroke in 1994, he was working on two very personal film projects. The first, entitled The Insect Trainer, concerned the trials and tribulations of a man imprisoned for killing a woman with his farts. Then, there was Tweet's Ladies of Pasadena - his masterpiece. In it, the 68-year-old actor/director would play a gardener who tended the grounds of an old ladies' knitting group. The ladies had but one goal: to clothe all naked animals.

Carey had also made plans for the premiere of Tweet's. He would, he insisted, make just one print of the film and screen it just once, the film running directly from the projector into a shredder.
