Jiyoung Lee
FEMALE PERVERT is a provocative sex comedy by Atlanta based female writer/director Jiyoung Lee (Moral Sleaze, 2013), premiering at Slamdance this year. Actress Jennifer Kim (Mozart In The Jungle) shines as the titular star, a painfully awkward, sex obsessed video game designer who meets a series of men in hopes of sparking a love connection, and follows a twisted path to self-empowerment. The film has a truly absurd, original vision and impeccable comic timing. (more info on the film below).
Inspired by a less-than-positive past relationship and Woody Allen’s “anti-characters”, this film dares to explore what happens when your boyfriend treats you like a wench, you’re morbidly afraid of bedbugs, you’re coerced into making illuminated underwear, and you’re also the caterer on an indie film set… which also happens to be your apartment. With a pit bull’s passive aggressiveness, Lee pokes fun at pretentious DIY video-making culture by creating a character who is both an unwilling participant and an annoyed observer of a ridiculous project that will surely bring her very little in return, let alone love.
