FEMME FATALES the hit Cinemax anthology series about powerful, sexy and dangerous women inspired by and styled in the tradition of pulp stories, film noir and graphic novels.

The half-hour program from creators Mark A. Altman (Castle, Necessary Roughness) and Steve Kriozere (NCIS, Castle) features stories inspired by such noir classics as Double Indemnity and Pulp Fiction and classic thriller TV series like The Twilight Zone.  Hailed as “a badass chick anthology series” by Entertainment Weekly, in each stand-alone episode of the series women find extraordinary ways of coping with their problems, channeling their survival instincts and bringing out their inner guile.  Every episode is introduced by a mysterious and enigmatic host Lilith, played by Tanit Phoenix (Death Race 2, Lost Boys 3), and features different casts and storylines, some of which are intertwined as part of the series overall mythology.

Holben joined the show as the second unit director and director of photography and was tasked with the challenge of creating the show's opening title sequence along with the show's co-executive producer, David Williams. For the first season, Holben executed second unit and additional scenes for various episodes.
