Morgan (Ingrid Jungermann) talks about female serial killers on her podcast, but she may become too close to her subject matter when her new girlfriend gradually reveals killer tendencies in Women Who Kill, a new mystery comedy coming to Brooklyn's Nitehawk Cinema following its theatrical run at New York City's IFC and Los Angeles' Arena Cinema.
Women Who Kill will play at the Nitehawk Cinema on September 16th and 17th. To learn more, visit Nitehawk Cinema's official website and check out the trailer and poster below.

Ingrid Jungermann, unlike some of her contemporaries, does not balk at being called a lesbian filmmaker. “I think you should demand to be called a queer filmmaker,” she said. “It’s a badge. I think it’s kind of irresponsible when people are like — ‘I wanna be known as just a filmmaker.’ That insinuates you’re not proud.” One look at Jungermann’s already impressive but still fledgling career, and it’s easy to see where her loyalties lie.

Her breakout web series, “The Slope,” created with Desiree Akhavan while the two were in Ira Sachs’ class at Nyu film school, starred the creators as a content-to-be-bitter lesbian couple who bicker amusingly about everything from co-op etiquette to normative gender roles.

“Hottest female serial killer ever? That’s a tough call.” Film festivals spanning from London to Los Angeles have been rocked by the newest rom-com-horror movie that is “Women Who Kill.”
Read More: ‘Women Who Kill’ Tribeca Review: Ingrid Jungermann’s Debut is the Best Lesbian Horror-Comedy Ever
The film follows two locally famous true crime podcasters who are obsessed with female serial killers and happen to be ex-girlfriends. Fairly early on we see that Morgan is a bit of a commitment-phobe, something that plays heavily into the storyline later on. Between conjugal visits to various female murderers and hours spent recording podcasts debating which executioner is the hottest of them all, Morgan meets a new love interest named Simone during a shift at a food co-op, and that’s when things take a turn for the peculiar.
Ingrid Jungermann (“F to 7th,” “The Slope,” “Lyle”) plays the role of lead actor,...

Last year was a windfall year for Lgbtq cinema, thanks to a historic Best Picture win for “Moonlight” and Park Chan-wook’s exquisite “The Handmaiden” both receiving critical and commercial acclaim. While these highly deserving queer stories rose to the top, many smaller Lgbt films were either forgotten or simply nowhere to be found.

Hollywood studios have begun to shoehorn blink-and-you’ll-miss-it gay stories into an endless stream of remakes and TV adaptations, and there is a wide range of indies exploring the breadth of queer stories with ever-expanding joy and nuance. While it’s still difficult to get a gay film made (or any film, for that matter), it’s wonderful that, only halfway through 2017, there are already so many queer films on the horizon. Which is why we think it’s important to celebrate them now,...

When anyone starts a new relationship there is almost always some hesitation. Most people will ponder, for at least a few moments, “what am I getting myself into?” “Do I really know this person enough, even if I love them, to not get hurt in this?” And what if our deepest, darkest fears about another person turn out to true? What if we have gotten ourselves into a relationship with someone abusive, controlling, dangerous, maybe even…..a serial killer?
Women especially have such thoughts, I have known several women who have told me exactly that. And what if both people are women, and one of them is a serial killer? That is the set up for Women Who Kill...

You know you’re a TV nerd when your most anticipated awards announcements are the Writers Guild Awards. TV is a writer’s medium. Every TV fan awaits the Emmys, and some even bother to care about the Golden Globes, but most don’t know the major Guilds give out statues to television producers.
Nerdier still, I’m most interested in the nominees almost nobody writes about: web original short form comedies and dramas.
So while you probably could not imagine my disappointment when the WGA released their nominees for original short-form new media this year,...

Barry Jenkins’ “Moonlight” is garnering awards buzz and praise from the industry’s most respected critics, but if that film came out 10 years ago, the gay coming-of-age story could have counted on a more specific foundation: The Lgbt film festival circuit. San Francisco’s Frameline, Los Angeles’ Outfest, and New York’s NewFest were once the go-to market for queer filmmakers and films, but once they break out, many directors with enough clout can easily graduate to a bigger arena.
Lgbt filmmakers rarely face the stigma that once limited opportunities, but for the emerging and mid-career filmmaker, as well as foreign filmmakers looking to break into international markets, queer film festivals remain a vital opportunity to get their work in front of an often adoring audience. At a time when gay identity has yet to truly permeate Hollywood filmmaking, that support system is more vital than ever.

Actors and their stories fared well at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival. Demetri Martin’s “Dean” took home the Founders Award for Best Narrative Feature, receiving $20,000. The stand-up comedian wrote, directed, and starred in the comedy about one man’s uncertain future following a recent break-up and the sale of his childhood home. Mackenzie Davis (“Always Shine”) received the Actress prize in a U.S. Narrative Feature for her turn in a thriller about two female actors in different places in their careers and the jealous rage that it sparks. Director Sophia Takal was one female director of the 40 percent that made up this year’s directorial slate. Meanwhile, Michael Ragen (“Kicks”) won a prize for cinematography, and “F to 7th” Web series creator Ingrid Jungermann’s “Women Who Kill” earned kudos for her screenplay about two women who create a female serial killer podcast and become paranoid after...

Ingrid Jungermann, whose first feature, Women Who Kill, just premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and won a best screenplay juried award, is heading to television.

After creating, directing and starring in two acclaimed web series — The Slope, a collaboration with Desiree Akhavan, and From F to 7th — Ingrid Jungermann makes her feature debut with the Tribeca Film Festival selection Women Who Kill. It’s a zeitgeist-y murder mystery set in the world of true-crime podcasts, but, like all of Jungermann’s work, it’s also a relationship story drawing inspiration from her own life. Below, Jungermann, one of Filmmaker‘s 25 New Faces, talks about her favorite ’80s serial killer books and movies, why working in genre allows her to be more personal, and now “Serial” inspired the film.

It’s that time of year again when filmmakers and stars alike descend upon New York City for the Tribeca Film Festival. Running April 13–24, this year’s slate features new films from some Tff alumni, more innovative content from new filmmakers and creators, and exciting performances from some of our favorite actors as well as new faces. But these eight performers are switching up their roles and taking on directing duties, too. From Katie Holmes to Danny DeVito, check out what the 15th annual Tff will bring. “Dean”Dubbed a “coming-of-adult-age story,” writer-director Demetri Martin plays the title role in this quirky comedy about an artist losing his grip on the elements that enabled his somewhat immature approach to life. After his childhood home is sold and he leaves a long-term relationship, he must come to terms with his own stagnation on a trip to Los Angeles. “Dean” also stars Gillian Jacobs,...

Daniel Crooke here, salivating over today’s first wave of films from the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival’s line-up. While the Spotlight, Midnight, and Special Sections programs won’t drop until March 8, the Us Narrative, International Narrative, and World Documentary Competitions, and Viewpoints showcase hit the internet today and there’s plenty to buzz about. Scanning the films, you’ll find an embarrassment of riches hiding in the programming, plot details, and cast lists. Here are some personal points of interest:

Ingrid Jungermann’s webseries F to 7th was an astutely, hysterically observed slice of queer life in New York, giving voice to a uniquely cutting female perspective in the process, so her feature debut Women Who Kill shoots straight to the top of the list. The Fixer sounds intriguing in a small-town-with-secrets kind way, James Franco as an “eccentric local” a little less so. Queens of charting...

A couple months ago, I wrote a piece for Indiewire about all the reasons I decided to make my web series, "The Impossibilities," rather than a feature film. Once the article went live, I was surprised and psyched by the number of web creators who reached out with questions about their web series. It became abundantly clear that there aren’t enough resources out there yet for this new field of independent filmmaking. There’s no manual. No masters degree you can get. Right now, our best resource is our fellow filmmakers.

How do you make your show stand out in a sea of content? I crowdsourced this question to the creators of four independently produced online series,...

For the past five years, the Writers Guild of America has honored superlative web series through its Short Form New Media category. This year, the WGA chose to honor a series often regarded as the web's best. It handed out its Short Form New Media award to High Maintenance, the Vimeo web series created by Ben Sinclair and Katja Blichfeld.
High Maintenance, which stars Sinclair as a pot dealer who interacts with his eclectic roster of clients, first hit the web in 2012. Since then, it has achieved widespread critical acclaim. The show's popularity led Vimeo to fund six new episodes, which are now available on Vimeo On Demand for $1.99 each or $7.99 for all six. Beyond those installments, 13 more free ones are also available on High Maintenance's Vimeo channel.

The Writers Guild of America announced the TV nominees for the 2015 WGA Awards on Thursday (December 4) morning and several new shows broke into the fields in a big way. And, of course, there were a number of big WGA Award nomination head-scratchers. Specifically, where the heck was FX's "Fargo"? The answer is below. Making perhaps the biggest splash was "Transparent," which earned three nominations and, since "Orange Is The New Black" earned two nods and "House of Cards" pick up one, that meant that Amazon Prime and Netflix are, at least for one award-giving organization, on equal footing as creators of original programming. The Jill Soloway-created "Transparent" is nominated for New Series, where it will go against "The Affair," "The Knick," "Silicon Valley" and "True Detective." "Transparent" and "Silicon Valley" are also up for Comedy Series, going against "Louie," "Veep" and "Orange Is The New Black." Lest you panic...
