1. But I'm a Cheerlead - Interview with Jamie Babbit - Nitrate Online Feature
JB: We did a lot of test screenings early on, and the people who respond the most strongly are women, gay or straight, it doesn't matter, mostly under thirty.
But I'm a Cheerleader - In an alternate universe, Jamie Babbit might have been a cheerleader. She could pass for perky; and has the kind of self-confidence, wit, and good humor that seem necessary for such a high-energy line of work. But she's not a cheerleader. She's a 20something filmmaker who's determined to make a difference. Which makes it unsurprising that she's had her share of first-time-out kind of troubles with her first feature, the highly stylized romantic comedy, But I'm a Cheerleader. The cotton-candy-pink-and-blue-colored parody of 12-stepping homophobia initially received an NC-17 from the MPAA, who cited, among other things, a non-graphic lesbian scene between stars Natasha Lyonne and Clea Duvall. Babbit trimmed the scenes for an R rating and then learned that Fine Line was dropping the film two months before its April 2000 opening. Lions Gate picked it up soon after, and Babbit's happy about their handling of the film. For better or worse, Babbit is used to dealing with censors, as both an independent director (she made th e acclaimed short, 1998's "Sleeping Beauties") and as a producer and director on the WB's campy high school series, Popular.
