Tiny Furniture

“We’re starting with Tiny Furniture. Obviously, Lena Dunham, huge inspiration to me. I watched Girls, it made me want to move to New York. And then I sort of did the deep dive into her work and then I discovered Tiny Furniture. When me and my friend Emma Seligman were writing Bottoms and Emma was writing Shiva Baby, we would always be like, “Tiny Furniture to Girls, Tiny Furniture to Girls.” Basically saying, like, you start your work and you establish it. She’s the inspo. Love her.”

“Tiny Furniture. This was Lena Dunham’s first film that put her on the map. This was really a big deal for the New York girls. I feel like she really captured that feeling of you go to college, have all these Dreams, think you’re going to get this job, and then really nothing happens. And you feel like you come home and everyone’s moved on without you. And she really captured that millennial trauma of like, 'Wait, I was promised all this stuff. I did everything right.'”

“Lena Dunham, who is one of the people who changed my life the most with the work that she did both in Girls and in Tiny Furniture because she's one of those people that gave me permission much like Melvin Van Peebles to just tell my story how I wanted to tell it anyway. Tiny Furniture is really good.”

“Tiny Furniture. Then I have to see it because I don't know. I know her series. I love Girls. I'm a fan of Girls but this I want to know what she did as a fiction before...”
