From the team behind the much loved Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same including director/co-writer Madeline Olnek, comes their next quirky comedy The Foxy Merkins.
Margaret (Lisa Haas) is a down on her luck asthmatic lesbian hooker in training. Hanging out on the streets of New York and sleeping in a public bathroom, she meets Jo (Jackie Monahan) a beautiful heterosexual grifter, who unlike Margaret is an expert at picking up women. Working the streets together they encounter an array of bizarre characters from husky-voiced seductresses to mumbling erotic accessory salesmen and a plethora in between.
A delightfully absurd buddy movie that premiered at Sundance and was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award, The Foxy Merkins pays homage and makes fun of iconic male hustler movies like My Own Private Idaho and Midnight Cowboy in an outrageous and hilariously subversive way.
“Behind its transgressive affectations, The Foxy Merkins is a sweet, playful divertissement.” – New York Times
“Part John Waters, with a dash of Paul Morrisey and a whole lot of Sappho, this delirious comedy is the must see girl-on-girl comedy of the new millennium.” – CultureCatch
