Naked Ambition - Co-directors Dennis Scholl and Kareem Tabsch

from Cinemafile

Bunny Yeager, once heralded as the world’s prettiest photographer, had a huge influence on 20th-century pop culture, though few people know her name. Whether by popularizing the bikini, helping discover Bettie Page, shaping the image of Playboy, or inventing the selfie, Bunny was a trailblazer whose work bucked against conservative 1950s America and helped pave the way for the feminist movement and the sexual revolution. Yet the very changes she helped usher in would soon render her a forgotten relic… until now. Featuring testimonies from Dita Von Teese, Bruce Weber, and Larry King, Naked Ambition is a rediscovery of a brilliant yet overlooked artist. Co-directors Dennis Scholl and Kareem Tabsch join us to talk about Bunny’s on-going influence on popular culture, art, and the multiple ways her determination to be seen an artist, feminist, entrepreneur, wife and mom impacted the people she cared about most.
