Jennifer Corday’s Find Another Girl to Fix Selected for LA Femme Film Festival 2026

Los Angeles, CA (The Hollywood Times) 10/7/26 – Heartbreak, humor, retro glamour and a little Palm Springs fabulousness come together in Jennifer Corday’s Find Another Girl to Fix, a colorful five-minute music video that has been selected for the 22nd Annual LA Femme International Film Festival, taking place October 22–25, 2026, in Sherman Oaks, California.

Written, directed by and starring Corday, the music video delivers a catchy, playful message about relationships, individuality and the sometimes impossible expectations people place on one another.

With its all-female cast and crew, stylish cinematography and distinctly LGBTQ+ perspective, Find Another Girl to Fix is a natural fit for a festival devoted to celebrating women in filmmaking.

At its heart, Find Another Girl to Fix explores a familiar relationship dynamic: the tendency to try to change someone rather than appreciate who they already are.

Corday approaches the subject with humor rather than heartbreak, transforming a recognizable emotional experience into an entertaining musical comedy.

The song’s message is simple but effective. Relationships involve compromise and growth, but there is a difference between supporting someone and attempting to reinvent them.

Through witty lyrics, expressive performances and exaggerated situations, Corday brings that distinction to life without becoming overly serious or preachy.

The video’s charm comes from its ability to take an emotionally familiar subject and present it with a wink, a memorable melody and plenty of personality.

Whether audiences identify with the person doing the fixing or the person being fixed, there is something wonderfully relatable about the story.

One of the video’s greatest strengths is its distinctive visual identity.

Filmed at Casa Milano, a mid-century residence in Palm Springs’ historic Old Las Palmas neighborhood, Find Another Girl to Fix embraces the retro glamour associated with the desert resort community.

The architecture, swimming pool and sun-drenched surroundings create an inviting cinematic playground for Corday’s colorful production.

A vintage 1966 Cadillac adds another nostalgic touch, while bold wardrobe choices, plaid suits and multiple costume changes reinforce the video’s playful, period-inspired atmosphere.

Fashion pieces by designer Trina Turk complement the mid-century aesthetic, adding a polished Palm Springs sensibility to the production.

Even the smallest details contribute to the illusion, with contemporary cell phones intentionally kept out of frame to preserve the vintage look.

The result is a visually cohesive production that feels like a miniature musical comedy inspired by classic Hollywood, with a distinctly contemporary LGBTQ+ twist.

The camera work and drone photography capture both the beauty of the setting and the lively energy of the performers.

For a music video running only five minutes, the attention to production design is particularly impressive.

Actress Cathy DeBuono brings considerable comedic flair to her portrayal of the controlling character determined to reshape Corday’s personality.

With her commanding screen presence, expressive performance and impeccable timing, DeBuono creates an exaggerated character who is both amusing and instantly recognizable.

The contrast between DeBuono and Corday drives much of the video’s comedy.

Their interactions turn everyday relationship frustrations into larger-than-life entertainment, allowing the humor to emerge naturally from the characters’ personalities.

Corday, meanwhile, anchors the production with a charismatic performance that blends musical storytelling, comedy and genuine emotion.

The chemistry between the performers keeps the video moving and gives the song’s central message a memorable visual interpretation.

Rather than relying on elaborate dialogue or complicated storytelling, Find Another Girl to Fix allows its music, performances and colorful imagery to communicate the story.

Perhaps the most compelling aspect of Find Another Girl to Fix is the talented group of women responsible for bringing Corday’s vision to the screen.

The production features an all-female cast and crew, reflecting the collaborative spirit that LA Femme International Film Festival has championed for more than two decades.

Rae – cinematographer

 

Director of photography Rachael “Rae” Hastings-Adair gives the video its polished cinematic appearance, balancing colorful interior sequences with the bright Palm Springs landscape.

The production team includes co-producers Valerie Milano and Lissa Forehan, along with Michele Amrhein, Marci Rosenblum and Nacia Schreiner, who also contributed additional camera work.

Filmmaker Betsy Kalin helped facilitate the cinematography connection, demonstrating the importance of professional relationships and creative collaboration within the independent filmmaking community.

Several Palm Springs residents also appear as extras, contributing to the lively party atmosphere that runs throughout the production.

Their participation gives the living room and poolside sequences a sense of spontaneous fun that is difficult to manufacture.

Remarkably, the music video was completed over approximately two to three days on a budget of roughly $1,500.

Considering the costumes, vintage automobile, location photography, drone footage and polished presentation, the result is a testament to the creativity and resourcefulness of independent filmmakers.

It also illustrates how much can be accomplished when a talented group shares a clear artistic vision.

What makes Find Another Girl to Fix particularly enjoyable is its refusal to become weighed down by its underlying subject.

Corday could easily have approached the theme as a serious examination of relationship expectations. Instead, she chooses comedy, music and unapologetic camp.

The lively costumes, theatrical performances and colorful surroundings give the video a celebratory quality.

Yet beneath the humor lies a meaningful observation about acceptance.

Relationships are rarely simple. Personalities differ, expectations evolve and communication is not always easy.

But the desire to change someone into an idealized version of themselves can undermine the very connection that brought two people together.

Corday explores that idea without assigning blame or suggesting there is only one side to the story.

Instead, she encourages audiences to laugh at the familiar imperfections of human relationships.

The result is an entertaining musical reminder that affection, individuality and mutual respect are essential ingredients in any successful connection.

And sometimes the healthiest approach is simply to appreciate people for who they are.

Following its selection for Cinema Diverse in Palm Springs, Find Another Girl to Fix has continued to gain recognition on the independent film festival circuit.

The music video has also been selected for Out On Film in Atlanta and the Simi Valley Music Video Fest.

Its inclusion in the 2026 LA Femme International Film Festival represents another milestone for Corday and her creative team.

For more than two decades, LA Femme has provided a platform for female filmmakers, writers, directors, producers and performers, bringing greater visibility to women-driven storytelling.

The festival’s 22nd annual edition will feature a diverse lineup of independent films, documentaries, shorts and music videos, along with opportunities for filmmakers and audiences to connect.

This year’s events take place at Regal Cinemas in the Sherman Oaks Galleria, with selected films also available through the festival’s virtual programming.

Find Another Girl to Fix is listed in the festival’s official 2026 online catalog under the Music Video category, with online availability beginning October 22.

For a production driven by women both behind and in front of the camera, its selection is especially fitting.

Find Another Girl to Fix proves that a music video doesn’t need an elaborate budget or lengthy running time to make an impression.

Jennifer Corday delivers an entertaining combination of catchy music, retro styling, lively performances and relatable storytelling.

Cathy DeBuono’s comedic presence, the strong cinematography and the unmistakable Palm Springs atmosphere elevate the production beyond a conventional performance video.

But its greatest achievement may be the way it balances humor with sincerity.

Cast and crew

Beneath the vintage Cadillac, fabulous wardrobe and playful choreography is a message about individuality and the importance of accepting others as they are.

It is stylish, funny, refreshingly campy and unmistakably female-driven.

In just five minutes, Corday and her creative team deliver a colorful celebration of music, friendship, individuality and the power of women creating together.

And with a title like Find Another Girl to Fix, how could audiences not be curious?
