10/52 - Deidra & Laney Rob a Train | Dir. by Sydney Freeland

I'm taking the Women in Film pledge to watch 52 Films By Women this year. I loved Deidra & Laney Rob a Train! Written (Shelby Farrell) and directed by women, the young leads are women of color, it was funny and quirky and filled with fun editing choices (for example: the opening credits), I want to see more movies like this.

Two teenage sisters start robbing trains to make ends meet after their single mother's emotional meltdown in an electronics store lands her in jail. Now streaming on Netflix.

Thrilled to learn that my second short documentary, "Imaginary Landscape" has been accepted into the Women in Film and TV International (WIFTI) Short Film Showcase. Selected films are screened through WIFTI chapters around the world on International Women's Day (March 8th) and beyond. Thanks to Kia Anne Geraths for lending me some gear and Jessica Beer and On My Walks, by Jessica Beer for letting me follow you around and make a movie!

7/52, 8/52, 9/52 - Cheryl Dunye POWFest Showcase

I'm taking the Women in Film pledge to watch 52 Films By Women this year. This year's POWFest guest of honor was Cheryl Dunye. She screened three films - The Watermelon Woman, Owls & Black is Blue.

Cheryl Dunye's debut feature is as controversial as it is sexy and funny. Cheryl is a twenty-something black lesbian working as a clerk in a video store while struggling to make a documentary about Fae Richards, an obscure black actress from the 1930's.
