	Kissing Jessica Stein
	Dir. Charles Herman-Wurmfeld US 2002 If the characters in Sex and the City swung both ways you might get something like Kissing Jessica Stein. Living in the New York City straight world of singles purgatory, Jessica (Jennifer Westfeldt) can't seem to meet anyone who isn't either a drug addict or macho pig. When a co-worker reads a singles ad out loud quoting Rilke, Jessica's ears perk up- the only catch is it's a woman seeking woman ad. On the sly Jessica answers the ad and meets Helen (Heather Juergensen). The two hit it off famously and as in all romantic comedies the obvious binary is created - the neurotic, uptight Jessica and the hipper, sexually confident Helen try to make this relationship work. Adapted from a stage play also written and performed by Westfeldt and Juergensen, Kissing Jessica Stein is directed by Charles Herman-Wurmfeld who cut his teeth in the underground SF theater scene of the early 90s. The film touches on issues of sexual experimentation, coming out to family and friends and the prejudice against same sex unions. (96m)
