Drawn image of YEASTY. Attributes about her surround the image. Yeasty is a 23-year-old virgin. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but she's on a mission to change it. Too bad for her she's YEASTY AS FUCK! But she's going to change that too. Her parents want her to meet a nice Jewish man. Her sisters are really cool & a reminder of everything she has to accomplish. Yeasty is silly & anxious & weird & a little gross. After all, Yeasty wants to move forward in life, but first thing's first: girl's gotta pop that cherry.

A little more knowledgeable & a bit more mature than Yeasty, she's here to help her get rid of her yeast infection & her virginity. Jo is the best friend any girl could have, always putting up with Yeasty's shenanigans & playing along with her jokes.

Yeasty is going to be an energetic, upbeat film that will have viewers entranced! The film will be shot with wide-angle lenses to give it a weird, unique feel. It’ll be colorful and vibrant with lots of pinks, greens, yellows, and blues. It’ll be fast-paced with quick cuts and fun, fast, music. The camera movements will be rhythmic and the tempo will match the characters’ moods and thoughts. The film will feel like Blondie, Mitski, and Nicki Minaj’s songs had a baby, except that baby was kept in the womb too long and is feeling restless and chaotic.

The words "Director's Statement" are drawn over a pattern of pickles on an orange background.

Almost a year ago I was delivered news that was perhaps the most embarrassing, yet funniest thing that has ever happened to me. A man told me I had a yeast infection. Though I was slightly mortified, a reassuring thought crept in: this is going to make a really funny film one day. I’m happy to say that this idea, which I really thought would remain as such, has materialized into a real production. This film started as a way for me to dramatize my own life, to live out fantasies I would never pursue, and to laugh at the burden of my chronic infections. Through writing the script and collaborating with my co-writer, I discovered that Yeasty is more closely a reflection of myself than I had once thought. We share the same thoughts, fears, and anxieties, and expressing them through this film has lessened the weight of carrying those feelings. It was really important for me not to hold back when creating this film and to not be scared of being vulgar and crude. I want to show people my humor and my fears, no matter how daunting they may be, and to affirm that I deserve to have my voice heard. I believe filmmaking should be fun and should remain a way for filmmakers to express themselves. I wanted to make something that contains everything that makes me excited to watch a film and to make something that makes me laugh. I was once told that though my work may depict a specific experience and feel like it should only appeal to a niche audience, that’s what makes it more relatable and exciting for an audience to watch. Though Yeasty is written for me, I hope everyone can see themselves in her and the journey she goes on.

The word "Budget" is drawn over a pattern of money bags and dollar bills on a green background.

We are currently in pre-production and have accomplished so much already in 4 short months. We have a fully locked script, an excited crew which is almost complete, and our grant applications are flowing!

We need a minimum of $20,000 to get this film greenlit, on our way to a final budget of $26,000. The majority of our budget will be going to camera, locations, and production design in order to create a unique and off-beat feel. 

With your help, production will be on track for our anticipated shoot date of May 2024.
