We haven’t had a crowdfuding campaign on BGPS for a few weeks, but now one has arrived, as the documentary Girl on Girl: A Film About Lesbian Visibility is seeking $25,000 to cover much of the completely costs.
The doc will focus on seven women, from New York, Florida, Utah, and North Carolina, including ‘celesbian’ Lauren Bedford Russell (The Real L Word: Season 3).
So what the film about? Well, director Jodi Savitz recently told Huffpo, “I developed “Girl on Girl: An Original Documentary” to call attention not only to the fact that feminine lesbians are legitimate but to the fact that we make up a thriving subset of the LGBTQ community. The film’s emphasis on community solidarity will help build a network for women and girls who are just coming out and who aren’t naturally inclined to alter their appearance to fit masculine stereotypes of “what a lesbian looks like.”
“Never before has feminine lesbian invisibility been discussed on such a large scale, and never has it been so important to make the conversation happen. Without popular, positive representation, feminine lesbians will continue to feel delegitimized and isolated and will continue to not be taken seriously by skeptics.
“To many, real feminine lesbians do not exist beyond fiction and porn. The bigger picture: the LGBTQ community cannot afford to lose the faces of these women in the midst of a civil rights movement.”
The money will be used to cover things such as funding for travel and to shoot interviews out-of-state, camera rentals and sound equipment, and a post-production crew to edit and complete the film. The makers says they’ve already been offered slots at several film festivals.
