Jemima Kirke from Tiny Furniture

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes


IFC released Tiny Furniture a dark dramedy that won the narrative feature prize at last year’s South by Southwest Film Festival. The movie, about a girl who returns to her artist mother and treadmill-poet sister’s Tribeca loft after graduating from Oberlin. The movie, populated by a squad of appalling men and artfully frumpy outfits, was written and directed by its lead actress Lena Dunham, who has since been commissioned to co-executive produce, direct, write, and star in a HBO comedy series about a girl living in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. West Village veteran Jemima Kirke, daughter of Bad Company drummer Simon Kirke and Fashion/Interiors designer Lorraine, went to high school with Dunham and worked with her on both projects. She performs effortlessly as Charlotte, a twenty something who is both elegantly wise and desperately entitled, always looking for someone to sleep over. She spoke to us about her relationship with Dunham and the specific complexity of transforming from a young New York agitator under pressure to be the most to a practical Brooklyn-based sage by age 25. Tiny Furniture is showing now at IFC Center and BAM in New York and screening around the country in December.

Jemima Kirke lived in New York City for almost 15 years.  Jemima Kirke was born in London and She moved to New york in 1995 when She was ten. Her parents moved because her mother had a plan to move all around the world, but she ended up staying in the first place she went, Greenwich Village. That’s where She lived her whole childhood. She has always loved it because it was a great place to run around and get into trouble. In high school her best friend in the world was Paz de la Huerta, who is an actress now.
