What happens

Chi Girl is a 1999 black-and-white mockumentary produced, directed, written by, and starring Heidi Van Lier. The story follows Heather, an unlikable woman who makes a bet with a filmmaker that she can sleep with any man she wants at any time. The film was shown at a number of film festivals including Slamdance Film Festival, Cleveland International Film Festival, New York Underground Film Festival, Edinburgh International Film Festival, and Chicago Alt.film Festival. Chi Girl was low-budget and was made on less than $50,000, which Van Lier borrowed from her mother. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
