<div>Hello Friends! This is Wendy Jo. I've been shooting my next LGBTQ feature film, <strong><em>Lucy is a Loser</em></strong>, with a small but mighty crew in Chicago! The footage is looking great! (<em>See pics from the movie set below!</em>)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I started this campaign because I need help raising $10,000 to cover cast, crew, gear, and location costs for the remaining shoot days and to get <strong><em>Lucy</em></strong> into the Editing Room! A juicy shout-out to the folks who supported the project via Seed &amp; Spark last year! We're almost there!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is my 4th indie feature, plus the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAKGQPiN-JU" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Easy Abby series</a>. (<em>Watch movie trailers below</em>). And every one of them features a dynamic queer female lead.<strong><em> Lucy </em></strong>is an especially personal story to me as it deals with complex childhood trauma and the ways it can seep into our later lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now more than ever it's important to tell our stories in our voices and to support LGBTQ and female artists in general.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>Lucy is a Loser, </em></strong>is about a 38-year-old queer singer/songwriter trying to get her mojo back after she loses her job, her sobriety, and the love of her life! When her Aunt gifts something to her in a will, Lucy reluctantly returns to her hometown to see what it is. It's a story about music, mundane beauty, and unlikely friendships. It's heartbreaking, funny, and weird. And sexy.

<div>Connie (Annie Bayliss) and Lucy hide from the landlord.

</div>
<div>My last feature, <strong><em>Good Kisser</em></strong>, was also made on a microbudget. It still reached a global audience with a great film festival run before streaming on Netflix, Hulu, AppleTV, and Amazon Prime!
