Bunny Yeager, once heralded as the world’s prettiest photographer, had a huge influence on 20th-century pop culture, though few people know her name. Whether by popularizing the bikini, helping discover Bettie Page, shaping the image of Playboy, or inventing the selfie, Bunny was a trailblazer whose work bucked against conservative 1950s America and helped pave the way for the feminist movement and the sexual revolution. Yet the very changes she helped usher in would soon render her a forgotten relic… until now. Featuring testimonies from Dita Von Teese, Bruce Weber, and Larry King, NAKED AMBITION is a rediscovery of a brilliant yet overlooked artist.

NAKED AMBITION is the latest film from acclaimed Miami filmmakers Kareem Tabsch and Dennis Scholl. The duo returns to O Cinema with their newest work, following their much-loved documentary THE LAST RESORT, which also captivated audiences on the same screen!
