I\u2019m a standup but the show is categorized as a solo show because it\u2019s got more elements than just standup. I use mediums like dance, song, and drag to tell the story. It\u2019s a bit like if Ali Wong and BTS had a gay theater kid\u2026 that\u2019d be my show.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been a whirlwind of emotions &#8211; not unlike making a short film! But instead of wrapping filming in a few days, you are in this Groundhog Day loop of re-shoots everyday\u2026 because every time you do the show, you decompress, see other shows, go flyer, go network, etcetera and then go to sleep and wake up and do it all over again. In many ways it\u2019s more difficult to me than any shoot I\u2019ve ever had to do\u2026 because you\u2019re not just performing, but you\u2019re producing, marketing, networking, and all around being your own support system throughout the entire month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s next for you?<\/strong>I\u2019m performing at the Hollywood Fringe showcase at Edinburgh Fringe tomorrow, and from coming here I\u2019ve met other festival directors such as Adelaide, and I would love to take Good Girl Gone Baddie on the road to other theaters and share it with more of the international community.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr align=\"center\" noshade=\"noshade\" size=\"2\" width=\"60%\" \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Titi Lee: Tribeca Film Fest Premier<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/318194459?h=bc6ec03bc1\" width=\"640\" height=\"346\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/318194459\">I Think She Likes You &#8211; Short Film Trailer<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/teresalee\">Titi Lee<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is I THINK SHE LIKES YOU, which premiered in the recent Tribeca Film Festival, about? <\/strong>The film is, on the surface, about a threesome gone wrong. We wanted to flip the expectations of what Hollywood shows threesomes to be like on its head, to show a more realistic one &#8211; an emotional threesome, if you will. It\u2019s about two women who care about each other but ultimately their own patterns get in the way of their relationship, and they\u2019re stuck in this cyclical loop &#8211; and the man they bring home is caught in there with them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What did you want potential audiences to get out of the movie? <\/strong>We hope they have a good time! Other than thinking \u201cThank goodness I\u2019m not in a relationship like this\u201d or \u201cOh my god, this is me, I\u2019m definitely [insert which character you identify with]\u201d, we also want them to see a bisexual relationship on screen in more than just a sexual sense.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_31296\" style=\"width: 155px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31296\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-31296\" src=\"https:\/\/hunterword.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pub-Titi-Lee-Pic-1-289x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"145\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hunterword.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pub-Titi-Lee-Pic-1-289x300.jpg 289w, https:\/\/hunterword.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pub-Titi-Lee-Pic-1-768x798.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hunterword.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pub-Titi-Lee-Pic-1-560x582.jpg 560w, https:\/\/hunterword.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pub-Titi-Lee-Pic-1-260x270.jpg 260w, https:\/\/hunterword.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pub-Titi-Lee-Pic-1-160x166.jpg 160w, https:\/\/hunterword.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pub-Titi-Lee-Pic-1.jpg 962w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 145px) 100vw, 145px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-31296\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Titi Lee.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Why did you make the short? <\/strong>Christine and I are both standup comedians that met at a comedy festival back in 2018, and got along because we both shared similar experiences being bisexual women at the time that had recently come out. We started sharing our experiences and found we had similar stories from messy relationships and wanted to write a short that put a bisexual relationship between two female presenting people at the front row center of it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What were your biggest learning curves on this project? <\/strong>We self-funded, self-produced, and put together the team on a rag-tag budget. We made the whole thing for under $5000, which honestly still feels insane to me now. I fortunately had a lot of experience producing from working at Cracked as a comedy producer for years, and knew the lay of the land very well in terms of working on limited resources. I got Subway to donate sandwiches for crafty, I got a bar to let us film for free, and worked with friends I trusted and knew well. Everyone got paid, but it was definitely a doing-it-for-the-love type of project.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15);
