Directed by Mary Bronstein.
Yeast is a film about a maddeningly un-self-aware, tyrannical and emotionally stunted young woman trying to negotiate two toxic friendships. With a physical aggressiveness and emotional violence that is surprisingly, yet undeniably, feminine in nature, 'Yeast' explores the grinding mechanics of friendships that have run their course. Relations between these young women aren't just a little bit ripe they are Ebola-infested, maggot-filled and bursting at the seams. Conceived and made by an actor with no concept of the language of filmmaking, 'Yeast' takes traditional dramatic structure and throws it out of the window to be swept away by the street cleaners.

"Even before its premiere, the debates over Mary Bronstein’s Yeast already began to simmer. The film intentionally dispenses with any sense of likability, crafting characters that are an embodiment of distasteful id rather than sympathetic figures to whom the viewer can relate. Karina talked with Bronstein and co-stars Greta Gerwig and Amy Judd about dissolving friendships, movies that don’t make you feel good, and cock punches. Don’t miss Karina’s review of the film here. SXSW news, reviews, interviews and discussions Yeast Interview Karina Longworth: Mary, last night you were saying that you didn’t make this movie for everybody, and I kind of want to know, who do you think that the audience for this movie is? Mary Bronstein: Well, when I said that I didn’t make the movie for everybody, I guess, you can only really make movies for people that have similar tastes as yours. What I like to see in a movie is something challenging. I like to go to the movie theater to have some sort ... " [More]

"Dorolicious, the men to women filmmaker ratio has always, unfortunately, leaned heavily to the males (I don't know why). But I am really excited to see Yeast, made by Mary Bronstein from Butterknife. It will premier at SXSW two weeks from now. I plan on interviewing Mary there and featuring her in this group once we've got some more content to share with people about her. From what I've heard, the movie is really something. Watch the trailerI'll also have my eye out for other emerging women filmmakers there. " [More]
