‘I’m A Virgo’ is a darkly comedic fantastical coming-of-age joyride about Cootie (Jerome), a 13-foot-tall young Black man in Oakland, California. Having grown up hidden away, passing time on a diet of comic books and TV shows, he escapes to experience the beauty and contradictions of the real world. He forms friendships, finds love, navigates awkward situations, and encounters his idol, a real-life superhero named The Hero, played by Walton Goggins.

The film is a mythical odyssey that questions the purpose of the mythical odyssey.

The bad-ass cast also includes Brett Gray, Tony-nominated and Obie-winning actor Kara Young, Allius Barnes, Olivia Washington, Mike Epps, and Carmen Ejogo.

I’m A Virgo’ is co-produced by Amazon Studios and Media Res Studio. Boots Riley and Tze Chun are the series’ co-showrunners and serve as executive producers, alongside Michael Ellenberg and Lindsey Springer for Media Res Studio, Jharrel Jerome, and Rebecca Rivo. The series features original music and score by art-pop duo Tune-Yards.
