So. The first issue of this zine was an account of the first "leg" of filming the documentary "From the Back of the Room: 20 Years of Women in Punk". I left off around the time we got back from the Midwest. A lot, and I mean a LOT has gone on since then.

In an effort to continue the zine, I'm going to try and write more generally about the places I go and people I meet. Traveling for the film has been fun, but it's finite by nature, and I'd like to keep writing once I'm done shooting it. But, for the time being, I guess I should start off with some kind of an introductory note about the "in the know".

I've been working on this film since August of 2006. I have been raising money and booking interviews with the help of BK, my co-producer. As the official producer, I have been handling all of the filming and editing. Most of the funds for the film have been raised by doing benefit shows. We managed to avoid having to buy a camera, because I work at a nonprofit TV station, and I borrow their gear when they're not looking. I shoot on a Panasonic DVX 100 and the editing will be done on Final Cut Pro.
