Known for her sharp, satirical storytelling and commitment to LGBTQ+ representation, Jamie Babbit's career has been shaped by her own life experiences. In this episode we dive deeper into the film that made both her and its star, Natasha Lyonne famous. But I'm A Cheerleader is Babbit's debut and centers around a high school cheerleader whose parents send her to a residential in-patient conversion therapy camp to "cure" her lesbianism. Learn how improvised moments made it into the final cut, how Jamie's eye for talent has turned small scenes into bigger roles, and what films by women have inspired her. We had a chance to catch up with Jamie for a sequel conversation of sorts while she was between production meetings.
