“I call it a chick flick that’s not for pussies.”
– Carrie Preston
True Blood’s Carrie Preston directed a film that played at The Sundance Film Festival this year. Her husband, Lost star Michael Emerson, was even in the audience to support her. The Sundance rep who introduced the film called it a “pussy comedy.” That’s What She Said is a raunchy girls comedy.
Dee Dee (Anne Heche) is a bitter divorcee who chain smokes, drinks in the afternoon and is happy to call other ladies cunts. Bebe (Marcia DeBonis) is a perennial optimist even though it seems like her dream guy is a married man who’s standing her up. They meet Clementine (Alia Shawkat) in a coffee shop and find she is an emotional wreck with sexual issues.
The day gets worse and worse for this trio of ladies in a misadventure that should appeal to the Bridesmaids audience. Certainly that’s what a studio should be thinking when they consider buying the indie film. When I compared her film to the hit Kristen Wiig movie, I became Preston’s BFF.
Preston’s fabulous True Blood red hair certainly shone against the white snow of Park City, UT. Two days after her premiere, Preston and her cast were partying at the festival and Preston would stay for a full week. We chatted in a warm loft off Main Street about naughty jokes and Arlene on that vampire show.
