Winner: Grand Jury Award, Best Actress — Outfest: Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Film Festival

Butch Jamie is a quirky, gender-bending comedy about an out-of-work butch lesbian actress willing to try almost anything for a role. Dressing up femme for auditions, struggling actress Jamie Klein (talented 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.” She immediately lands a role—as a man! Her misadventures on the set include unintentionally attracting the attentions of her sexy female co-star.
