Butch Jamie

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 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.
