 Butch
Jamie (Michelle Ehlen,
USA, 2007, 84 min) 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" for auditions, struggling
actress Jamie Klein (writer/director
Michelle Ehlen) continually faces rejection
as she fails to be a typical leading
lady. 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 interests of Jill, a sexy
yet straight woman on set. Michelle
Ehlen won the L.A. Outfest Jury Award
for Outstanding Actress. Official
