Love, Barbara

15
min 
Content warning:
Love, Barbara is my attempt to be evangelical about the deep imprint Barbara Hammer left behind -- on the world of lesbians searching for life and language, on women in the arts creating imagery that rings true to lived experience, on innovators challenging accepted norms, and on me personally.

Uncovered: All Cunts are Beautiful

5
min 
Content warning:
UNCOVERED: All Cunts Are Beautiful explores how the heteronormative media has damaged the idea of vulva, and subsequently the self-image of people with vulvas. Uncovering the myth of the "perfect" vulva caused by the heteronormative media’s deceptive nature, the film aims to spread an awareness of how all shapes and forms of vulvas are beautiful. The film addresses issues such as gender identity, body image, and anatomy, these having been largely misrepresented in mainstream media aimed at cis-het-white men.

Ourselves, in Stories

24
min 
Content warning:
In the last 25 years, the independent comics community made deliberate efforts to be inclusive and elevate under-represented voices. This is the story of how the community has changed over those years and evidence that if you want to change a culture, you need to change its stories, starting with the storytellers.

Powers

min 
Content warning:
An artist in her 60s spreads joy in her urban community by hanging sculptures on telephone poles with positive messages. Worried that it may be illegal, she wears a disguise and hangs them anonymously. Through her random acts of kindness she makes peace with her troubled past and discovers her own self-worth. This heart-warming story reminds us that it’s never too late to discover one's true passion.
