GEREMY JASPER
the writer/director of PATTI CAKE$
“Patti's story is my story as a 23-year-old. A misfit. Just that feeling of being trapped, the feeling of, of being stuck in your hometown, of not being able to ever express yourself as an artist, not being able to make music, just feeling forever like some sort of alienated, lost person who doesn’t fit in. There's a lot of me in her, there's a lot of my family in her.”
-Geremy Jasper (Director)
In a coming-of-age story straight out of Jersey, an unlikely rapper finds her voice as a one-of-a-kind hip-hop legend in the making in PATTI CAKE$, the first feature film from acclaimed commercial and music-video director Geremy Jasper. Set in gritty strip-mall suburbia, PATTI CAKE$ chronicles an underdog’s quest for fame and glory with humor, raw energy and some unforgettable beats.
