“Does my butt look big in this?” It’s a loaded question women have been asking themselves for generations. It reveals our most universal and classic hang-up. What a Booty! is one female filmmaker’s fun and sexy body image-boosting quest that focuses on a very ‘cheeky’ body part: the ‘booty.’ Inspired by society’s current fascination with the backside – thanks to JLo, hip hop culture and low-rise jeans - Director Tatyana Terzopoulos explores the lives of three fascinating people on unique missions to celebrate the ‘beauty of the booty’, while testing her own body confidence along the way. We meet Michelle L’amour, a burlesque performer from Chicago who’s achieving fame as the “Ass that goes Pow”, Claire Jason, owner of bigger-booty embracing denim company PZI jeans and Hotep, a Southern male artist whose “Venus Revolution” exhibit features women with considerable booty - all spread the message of body acceptance and celebrate it. A variety of segments including a message from 80’s hit rapper, Sir Mix-A-Lot and the animated adventures of bootiful heroine, “Booty Girl” bump up the fun as we get down to the bottom of the booty phenomenon!
