How to Plan an Orgy in a Small Town is a Canadian sex comedy film, directed by Jeremy Lalonde and released in 2015.[1]
The film stars Jewel Staite as Cassie Cranston, a newspaper sex columnist returning to her hometown for her mother's funeral, for the first time since being slut-shamed by her high school classmates who caught her trying to lose her virginity.[2] In trouble with her publisher because many of the sex stories she has written about were actually fictional, and with her former friends and neighbours because she has often written about them as yokels and rubes, she tries to square the circle by challenging the town to plan an orgy to prove that they're not as provincial as she has depicted them, in turn giving her the opportunity to write a new true story.[2] The film's cast also includes Ennis Esmer, Lauren Lee Smith, Katharine Isabelle, Jonas Chernick, Tommie-Amber Pirie, Kristian Bruun, Natalie Brown, Noah Cappe, Christine Horne and Rosemary Dunsmore.
The film premiered at the 2015 Atlantic Film Festival.[3] It was later screened at the 2016 Canadian Film Festival, where it won the awards for Best Feature, Best Costume Design and Best Ensemble Cast.[4]
