Jane Schoenbrun’s ‘Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma’ Starts Shooting in May

March 28, 2025 Jordan Ruimy

After the critical success of last year’s “I Saw the TV Glow,” Jane Schoenbrun’s next film will again be tackling the horrors of media, culture and identity.

According to Production Weekly, the ‘TV Glow’ auteur is set to shoot “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma” in May. The film has been described by Schoenbrun as “Portrait of a Lady on Fire” set in a “Friday the 13th” sequel.”

We also now have a synopsis of the film, and it sounds as batsh*t crazy as Schonebrun’s last two films (via Production Weekly)

An exploration of the teen sleepaway camp slasher genre and all of the gender trouble inherent in it. About a queer filmmaker who is hired to direct a new installment of a long-running slasher franchise. The director fixates on the prospect of casting the ‘final girl’ from the original movie, and the two women descend into a frenzy of psychosexual mania.

Schoenbrun had previously told Filmmaker Magazine that the film would “both honor and critique” the “gender deviance” connected with the serial killer genre, exploring how films “created and codified an idea of transness as monstrous.”

“I Saw the TV Glow” grossed $4M at the domestic box office — its budget was said to be around $5M. The film was showered with rave reviews; Hell, even Martin Scorsese heaped praise on it, calling ‘TV Glow’ “emotionally and psychologically powerful.”

Even after just two films, Schoenbrun’s cinematic obsessions are quite clear: young people struggling with identity in the digital age. After “We’re All Going to the World’s Fair,” Schoenbrun yet again tackled media consumption overload and the moving images that can possess young minds.
