The Rays from Space & the Secret Kissing Experiments: The Adventures of the New Electric Girls is a project dedicated to millions of females who long for kissing in the movies.  The first serial motion picture since 1956 — it knows what chicks want and gives it to them.  They don’t want violence; they’re tired of gratuitous sex.  They want intense, heady kissing.  And Rays delivers.

Rays’ atmosphere is retro, ultra-nostalgic, dreamy.  The place is a fabulous estate in Florida.  The time is 1959.  The moon and the stars are principal players.  A lavish party is in progress.

Popular debutante Starr McCready has just broken her third engagement.  She seems to be searching for more than mere love.  Her fiercely independent friend, Helen Preston — seductive to men and women alike — has just returned to Florida after a long, mysterious absence.

Men haven’t lived up to their expectations, so the women of Rays are seeking a new freedom.  Their quest will involve them in secret experiments in psychic kissing — kisses that generate energy so powerful and mysterious that mystic societies covet its ethereal force.

Where will the kissing experiments lead?  Who knows?  Maybe to perfect romance.



Women still remember the first kiss after men have forgotten the last.

— Remy de Gourmont, French writer


Scriptwriter Richard Thornton is a born romantic, whose other passion is film.  Always fascinated by the “pulps,” especially the romance variety, he found the inspiration for Rays in a pulp magazine story about a woman who had just broken off her third engagement.  He’s focused Rays on the most important element of every romance pulp story — the kiss.  The script for his kissing movie has grown from a feature-length film to an innovative six-part serial.  Rays is the antithesis of the “buddy movie.” Thornton calls it a “girl-chum movie.” It’s the ultimate “chick flick.”
