Easy Girl Films is a Los Angeles-based production company dedicated to amplifying narratives of marginalized voices through uncompromising cinema. Founded by filmmaker Jeanetta Rich and curator Ezequiel Olvera, we champion works that interrogate the emotional landscapes of those silenced by systemic inequity. Our films—from the award-winning short Desperate LA to the forthcoming feature FEELINGS—merge poetic realism with urgent social commentary, creating space for stories that mainstream platforms overlook.
Co-Founder / Filmmaker
Jeanetta Rich is a poet and filmmaker based in Los Angeles, originally from Chicago’s South Side. Her work—spanning cinema, poetry, and video art—elegantly reveals the grit of womanhood while reimagining beauty, romance, and what it means to surrender to one’s own vulnerability.
A graduate of the University of Nevada’s theatre program and a Meisner technique scholar (New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts), Rich crafts narratives that hold a mirror to raw emotional truths. Her acclaimed short film Desperate LA (2021), winner of the Indie Memphis Audience Award and Metrograph premiere, blends screwball humor with lyrical realism. Its thematic successor, the feature FEELINGS (2025), further explores her signature focus on flawed, unapologetic protagonists.
Rich’s work has been featured in Texte Zur Kunst’s 30th-anniversary issue “The Feminist” (video work Love Poem), The Quarterless Review, and Polyester Zine. Her debut poetry collection, Black Venus Fly Trap (Deluge Press), interrogates vulnerability and motherhood with unflinching precision.
Continually developing projects that dissect the poetry of survival, Rich amplifies voices that defy conventional narratives, framing vulnerability as a radical act.
Ezequiel Olvera is a curator and the director of Court Space, an initiative bridging public and private art spheres through radical discourse. His practice interrogates institutional power structures while centering the work of women, Black, and brown artists. A 2023 guest lecturer at UC Santa Barbara’s Organizing as Practice panel, Olvera’s writing has been published by X-TRA, Topical Cream, and The Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles. At Easy Girl Films, he merges curatorial rigor with cinematic activism to platform underrepresented narratives.
