Jeremy Saville

Jeremy Saville’s filmography is, well, not your typical Hollywood fare. The guy’s probably most infamous for Loqueesha (2019), a film that stirred up more online chaos than a Twitter feud at 2 a.m. It’s a comedy where a down-on-his-luck white bartender pretends to be a Black woman to get a radio job. Yeah, it’s as wild (and, honestly, cringey) as it sounds. People had opinions. Lots of them. Some called it tone-deaf, some called it gutsy, others just straight-up roasted it. Either way, Saville wrote, directed, and starred in the thing—talk about wearing all the hats, right? Then there’s The Test (2012). This one’s a lower-key indie flick, definitely flying under the radar compared to the Loqueesha drama. It’s all about relationships and those weird, awkward boundaries people stumble over—think awkward silences, nervous laughs, and a whole lot of uncomfortable honesty. Saville likes to put his characters in situations where you can’t help but cringe or laugh, or both. You get these sharp, sometimes kinda brutal looks at how people mess up and try to fix things (or not). And don’t forget Switch (2005). It’s got that early-2000s indie vibe, you know? Stories about people switching roles or perspectives, with just enough chaos to keep you guessing. Saville kind of loves poking fun at identity and social norms, and his movies are like a messy, unfiltered take on stuff you probably wouldn’t see in a mainstream rom-com. Love him or hate him, the guy’s got a knack for stirring the pot and making you ask, “Did that really just happen?”
