Butch Jamie
U.S.A./84 mins.
Synopsis: A quirky, gender-bending comedy about an out-of-work lesbian actor willing to try almost anything for a role. Dressing up as "Femme Jamie", struggling actress Jamie Klein continually faces rejection in auditions. Spurred on by her roommate Lola's successful cat actor, Jamie decides to take a different approach and audition as herself - aka "Butch Jamie."
This ends up landing her a part as a man, and despite the offense that she takes in being offered a male role, she accepts. After transforming herself into "Male Jamie," Jamie's bitterness subsides as she starts to have fun gallavanting as her male alter-ego. The plot thickens as Jamie unintentionally peaks the love interests of Jill, a sexy yet straight woman.
