Sharp Stick
Directed by Lena Dunham
Produced by FilmNation Entertainment, Good Thing Going
A darkly comedic coming-of-age story about a sheltered young woman's sexual awakening through a morally complicated affair, balancing humor with the discomfort of power imbalance and self-discovery.
Sarah Jo is a naive 26-year-old living on the fringes of Hollywood with her mother and sister. When she begins an affair with her older employer, she is thrust into an education on sexuality, loss and power.
