Welcome
to the world of Jamie-Li and Curtis: Yin and Yang; Potato and gravy;
BFF’s since childhood. Jamie-Li, a straight Chinese-Kiwi woman, and
Curtis, a gay white man, have a friendship that defies race, gender and
sex...or so they think. After a night of wet and wild partying on their
joint 25th birthdays, the two Gemini’s wake up to find themselves in
each other’s bodies–revealing a hot mess of unexplored issues that
unravels the way they see others, one another, and themselves. They
thought they were “woke”–until they woke up in each other’s bodies! LIFE
IS EASY (LIE) is a smart, funny, sexy, wholesome, and thought-provoking
8-episode satire series exploring the complexities of race, gender and
sexuality in today’s seemingly “woke” society.
“Being
able to distribute globally on Revry is incredibly exciting for us.
Sometimes it’s hard for us #millennials to envision greatness for
ourselves outside of New Zealand, because we’re literally so far away
from everything that is making waves,” says Producer, Ruby
Reihana-Wilson. “It’s amazing to have our work debut on a platform that
is specifically there to showcase and support queer and indigenous
filmmakers.”
“In
a time of BLM, LIE poignantly explores what it means to literally live
in someone’s else’s shoes,” said Revry COO and Co-Founder, Alia J.
Daniels. “It not only makes us laugh, but makes us think–a potent
combination in entertainment.”
