Many people
have the impression that the Riot Grrrl movement in the
mid-90s was the end-all, be-all of female involvement in DIY
punk. This is definitely not the case! Plenty of amazing
ladies prior to this era paved the way for it, and plenty of
amazing ladies continue to help keep DIY together today. This
documentary chronicles the past 20 years of female involvement
in DIY punk, and has interviews with over 30 women from across
the country, ages 17 to 40. Race, gender, sexuality,
motherhood, class, and activism are all addressed in this
film, giving a more complete picture of how these women
participate in the DIY community, and how it affects their
daily lives.
How has the film
been funded? Where does the money from benefits go?
The film has been funded
largely through benefit events held in and around the DC area.
We’ve been planning benefits since August of 2006, and filming
didn’t even begin until February of 2007. The money raised
from the benefits has gone towards travel costs – plane
tickets and rental cars – and also towards the purchase of a
1TB hard drive for storage of the footage. There have been and
are constant grant proposals being submitted to various
places, but no cash from that yet. If anyone has any
information about possible funding sources for
post-production, let us know!
When is the
film going to be done?
Hopefully by the end of
summer 09. Updates will be posted here.
