After making the rounds on the Asian American Film Festival circuit this year, Nice Girls Crew debuts online. Nice Girls Crew features seminal actresses Sheetal Sheth (Reign, Three Veils, Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World, The World Unseen), Michelle Krusiec (Chinglish, Saving Face) and Lynn Chen (Saving Face, Surrogate Valentine) as three childhood friends who gather weekly for a book club, but never actually talk about the book. Their subjects of interest? Vampires, cannibalism, prescription drugs, and Teddy bears. Not to mention a healthy dose of lingering childhood drama.
From award-winning Sundance helmer Tanuj Chopra (Punching at the Sun) and emerging writer/producer Christine Kwon, comes a new comedy about three best frenemies and their cray cray antics in a book club. (It’s like the female version of YOMYOMF’s The Book Club). Sophie (Lynn Chen) is the human rainbow bright, wreaking sunshine even as she reveals her inner Dexter. Geraldine (Michelle Krusiec) is the badly permed, cult leader potentate, whose talents range from spoken word dance performance to carefully balancing martini glasses. And Leena (Sheetal Sheth) is the unabashed thug-ess in heels, whose constant refusal to read the books is matched only by her trademark tardiness. When the three come together, it’s an unforgettable mix of taut one-liners, delusions of grandeur, and explosive conversation material.
In episode 1 of Nice Girls Crew entitled “Out of Order”, Geraldine, Leena, and Sophie try to kick off the group together. The first book that the ladies discuss is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Book 3 of the Harry Potter series). Starting out of order in the series doesn’t suit everyone and someone didn’t read the book. Looks like the rough start to the first session.
