Full Plot Details

Jamie Klein is an out-of-work butch lesbian actor willing to try almost anything for a role. Not being a traditionally feminine woman, Jamie dresses up for auditions as "Femme Jamie," but has no success in landing roles. To add insult to injury, her roommate Lola's cat (named Howard) is also an actor, and he gets cast in virtually anything he auditions for. After watching Howard's acting reel, Jamie is ready to rise to the challenge and prove to herself that she can be more successful than a stupid cat. Jamie's best friend David convinces her that the way to do this is to simply be yourself, which in Jamie's case, is what she refers to as "Butch Jamie" -- short hair spiked up with gel, Doc Martin boots, a studded belt, and a neck chain. This unintentionally tips Jamie's perceived gender in the opposite direction, and she gets offered a role in a film as a man - Steve. Offended by the reality that there is little room for butch women in show biz, Jamie is reluctant to take the role, but accepts. Under the producer's requests, she is bound to confidentiality as Male Jamie and cannot reveal her true identity as a woman. On set, Jamie confronts a whole new set of hoops to jump through as a male imposter. "He" meets a flirtatious and alluring straight woman named Jill, and despite Jamie's better judgement, the two begin a hilariously complicated and sexy affair.

User Review - 10/10 by Nic FFirst & foremost, Michelle is so adorable and cute. Her character reminds me of myself in present day, because I struggle with finding myself as far as 'butch' or 'fem'. She did a great job making it clear what her motive was behind the 'lie' and 'the intentions of trying to tell the truth in a believable way' to her co-stars. Howard is a great 'cat actor' even though I got annoyed when the roommate kept talking about him. lol. This, by far, is a great Indie film if you're looking for romance and self-reflection. Kudos to Michelle & the cast!!
User Review - 8/10 by Joanna LThis isn't a bad film, or a badly written film. The director/star, Michelle Ehlen seems to be telling an autobiographical story from act 1. The comedy doesn't so much come from full-on bits, as the absurdity of the situation, which makes a certain amount of sense. This is clearly an independent film, with original music done for it. Ehlen, isn't a compelling leading actor, but is supported by a decent ensemble. Editing and camerawork are actually pretty good in this, to frame the scenes. Sadly, the makeup and voice work doesn't really have you believing that Ehlen could be perceived as a guy, but then again, (since characters directly reference the film Tootsie, staring Dustin Hoffman), I have to play devil's advocate, and point out that Hoffman didn't make a convincing woman, nor did Robin Williams in Mrs Doubtfire. The comedy of these gender-bending films is that the people cannot be what they are, in order to get what they want from life. The makeup the character of Jamie wears isn't that convincing, but she ends up looking like Paul Giamatti. As with many independent films, part of the charm comes from what they do to work around the low budget, and the quirky side stories that they put in to make this film more like a Hollywood comedy. It's generally enjoyable, and I get the sense that this film was Ehlen's "Kane" in some ways: this was her first film, she directed and edited it, as well as writing and starring in it, and it's seemingly semi-autobiographical, but with a story that diverts a bit from fact. I think that given the right backing, Ehlen could actually be an award winning director, and if given a good screenwriter to work with, she could easily flourish as a writer/director. In terms of acting, you can tell she wrote it, but it's not bad. You can just tell that this woman identifies with the character on a deeper level. Some of the shots in the bar have bad miking, but you can still clearly hear what they're saying.
User Review - 6/10 by Madwolfie CEntertaining watch and interesting how things develop. .5 star more because its something I can relate to ^.^
User Review - 6/10 by Lee MMichelle Ehlen, who wrote, directed, and starred in this little indie does well in her one-"man" show, and should appeal to fans of the genre, but has little cross-genre pollination possibility.
