Summary
A review of Jane Schoenbrun's film 'Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma,' a slasher movie send-up starring Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson. The article discusses Schoenbrun's evolution as a visionary queer filmmaker, following their debut 'We're All Going to the World's Fair,' and how their personal journey of coming out as nonbinary and trans informs their genre-literate, metaphysical filmmaking style.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledVisionary filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun's work is many things, but you wouldn't up to this point have necessarily called it optimistic or accessible.
The enthusiastically queer, genre-literate director used their feature debut 'We're All Going to the World's Fair' as not just a love letter to internet creepypastas and the scary stories we tell our young selves for comfort, but also as a coming-out missive.
With the making of that film came Schoenbrun's revelation of their own nonbinary transness.
