Finding Bliss is a 2009 romantic comedy film written and directed by filmmaker Julie Davis . Finding Bliss explores the adult film industry through the eyes of an idealistic 24 year-old film school grad, Jody Balaban . After a long humbling year temping as a traffic cop on a studio lot, Jody is faced with the hard decision of taking the only well-paying industry job she has yet been offered — editing porn at Grind Productions, a profitable adult film company run by former porn star Irene Fox . At first horrified by the prospect of exposing herself to the cockroaches of the film... industry, not to mention the effect it would have on her strict Jewish parents, Jody has a remarkable change of heart when she realizes that Grind has all the facilities she needs to make her own low budget movie — on the sly of course — but things get complicated when Jody meets Jeff Drake , the charming Herr Director of adult films. Jeff, also an award-winning filmmaker, once had his own dreams of making "real" films, but now is a hard-worn cynic who masks his disappointment behind a façade of irony.
