Synopsis: Nice Girl Jenny Heitz (Stephanie Hsu, THE MARVELOUS MRS.MAISEL) is an aspiring journalist, relegated to penning celebrity tabloid stories while dreaming of her first big investigative break. But when an anonymous Internet stalker develops a sinister obsession with her work, she finds herself at the center of a story that no one seems willing to hear. After a cop dismisses her plea for help, Jenny and her hacker roommate seek their own brand of justice. Predator becomes prey in this cathartic and irreverent feminist comedy/thriller. Director Amanda Lundquist and co-director Becky Scott deftly juggle the potentially conflicting genres, with the screenplay by Scott providing a deliciously deadpan absurdity that offsets the mounting tension. Including the always-hilarious Janeane Garofalo as Jenny’s boss, ASKING FOR IT is a genuine subversive delight – but also a cautionary tale about the cyber age we live in.
