I am so completely thrilled to finally have this baby off the ground. I think the site is gorgeous and I am so excited for the future of my little film.
Thank you to everyone who has been involved thus far: my subjects Jessica and Keena, my co-editors Hannah and Ivana, the amazing women at Women Make Movies, Chris for his mad computer skills, Kyla for her equally awesome photography, and Alana for the best damn web design ever.
2012 is starting off with a bang, and I couldn’t be happier.

You have to question a cinematic culture which preaches artistic expression, and yet would support a decision that is clearly a product of a patriarchy-dominant society, which tries to control how women are depicted on screen. The MPAA is okay supporting scenes that portray women in scenarios of sexual torture and violence for entertainment purposes, but they are trying to force us to look away from a scene that shows a woman in a sexual scenario, which is both complicit and complex. It’s misogynistic in nature to try and control a woman’s sexual presentation of self. I consider this an issue that is bigger than this film. … There is something very distorted about this reality that they’ve created, which is that it is OK to torture women on screen. Any kind of violence towards women in a sexual scenario is fine. But give a woman pleasure? No way. Not a chance. That’s pornography.

-Also everyone should watch “This Film is Not Yet Rated” for a very interesting look at how screwed up the MPAA rating system is.

ALL THE GIRLS STANDING IN THE LINE FOR THE BATHROOM should be informed that the men’s facilities are adequate and the stalls currently available, and only antiquated gender norms are keeping us from all calmly sharing that space without shame or fear of harassment.
