Sassy Pants

Outfest celebrates 30 years of presenting its Gay & Lesbian Film Festival. Since 1982 more than 5,600 films depicting the lives and experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people have been seen by audiences numbering in the millions. As part of Outfest 2012, see the edgy teen comedy Sassy Pants at the Directors Guild of America Theater 1. When life with her overprotective mother becomes too much to bear, Bethany (Ashley Rickards, Awkward) seeks refuge with her gay dad and his much younger boyfriend, played with unexpected verve by former child star Haley Joel Osment (The Sixth Sense). As Bethany settles in and saves up to attend the fashion school of her dreams, her mom schemes to get her back. Writer-director Coley Sohn's debut is a charming film about finding your voice.
