[BROOKLYN NY—OCTOBER 2ND, 2013] After garnering over 12,000 fans on Facebook, Girl on Girl director, Jodi Savitz, is reaching out to the public for support. Beginning October 2nd, Savitz will launch a 35-day crowdfunding campaign on the popular fundraising site, Indiegogo, with the goal of raising $100,000 to fund the first phase of production. So far, Girl on Girl has proven its worth through its growing international fan base, and its sponsorship from New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) and Curve Magazine. Unlike any documentary film to date, Girl on Girl focuses its lens on the lives of feminine lesbians, and invites the audience to discover what life is like for women whose identity is incessantly trivialized and stigmatized, both outside of and within queer spaces. Girl on Girl challenges assumptions of what society imagines a lesbian to look like and, for the first time, addresses the issue of feminine lesbians feeling invisible even after coming out. The independently produced film features such ‘celesbians’ as Lauren Bedford Russell (The Real L Word: Season 3) and Huffington Post columnist and award-winning lesbian porn producer, Jincey Lumpkin (JuicyPinkBox.com), along with several other women from around the country, including New York, Florida, Utah, and North Carolina. The campaign will go live on the morning of October 2nd. The goal is to spread the direct link to the Indiegogo campaign via social media outlets and blogs. The direct link is: igg.me/at/girlongirlmovie For more information, sharable photos, and to download a press kit, visit www.girlongirlmovie.com/press. To contact the director, email [email protected] or directly at 954-415-1736. The Girl on Girl trailer, along with several other clips, are available on www.girlongirlmovie.com/trailers or directly via the film’s Vimeo channel, www.vimeo.com/channels/girlongirlmovie. For release 9 a.m. EST, October 2nd, 2013 nd th • To raise $100,000 through our crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo between Oct 2 and November 5 : 35 days to fund the initial production phase of Girl on Girl: an original documentary. • To produce, publicize, release and distribute a high-quality documentary film that highlights positive, diverse representations of feminine lesbian women. • To complete production by Summer, 2014. • To bring Girl on Girl to film festivals beginning in Fall of 2014. • To engage audiences from all walks of life and to market the film both to and beyond the LGBTQ community. • To play in both commercial and independent theaters and to achieve mainstream distribution in order to access the communities that need to hear the film's message the most! • To design an engagement program to supplement screenings of the film in schools, colleges, and LGBTQ youth centers, and to encourage productive and positive dialogues about 'invisibility' in general. Never before has lesbian visibility been discussed on such a large scale. And never has it been so important to make the conversation happen. This is about introducing the world to a largely invisible portion of society— the lesbians that “look straight.” While out and proud, they still face the burden of invisibility on a day-to-day basis. Of feeling alone within the gay world, and lost within the straight world. Without popular, positive representation, feminine lesbians will continue to remain a delegitimized population— and the LGBTQ community cannot afford to lose the faces of these women in the midst of a civil rights movement. The time for this documentary is now. If Jennifer Lopez can produce a television show on ABC Family about a lesbian- headed family, we know that there is a market for and momentum behind the subject matter. Unlike any film to date, Girl on Girl is a groundbreaking documentary that covers new territory in the LGBTQ genre. By focusing its lens on the lives of feminine lesbians, Girl on Girl invites the audience to discover what life is like for women whose identity is incessantly trivialized, both outside of and within queer spaces. Girl on Girl lays the groundwork for a movement towards the redefinition of what society imagines a lesbian to look like and, for the first time, addresses the issue of lesbians feeling invisible even after coming out. Girl on Girl is in the late stages of development/early production. While we have already conducted initial interviews, our ability to capture high-quality footage and sound has been limited due to scant funding. Using our available resources, we have scouted locations and decided on whom to focus our interviews on during the next stages of production. With funding equal to or near our proposed budget, we can immediately move forward to production, plan our travel arrangements, and schedule to shoot on-location with a full crew and all of the necessary equipment. Funding will also allow us to assemble and put on-call a complete post-production team, and to conduct audience engagement programs simultaneously as a part of our initial marketing campaign. With a bulk of the details planned, the cast already secured and the locations identified, we could potentially complete filming in a matter of months and move on to post-production in under a year. • There is a HUGE NEED and AUDIENCE for Girl on Girl • In only 5 months, our Facebook page has flourished, with over 10,000 likes, and an active comment feed. • Girl on Girl has WORLDWIDE relevance- fans come from over 20 countries, including Pakistan, Kenya, Indonesia, Algeria, Bangladesh, and even Nigeria! • Outside of the US, our largest fan base is located in the UK. • Girl on Girl challenges the assertion that ‘passing is a privilege’ by presenting feminine lesbian invisibility as a problem worth talking about and worthy of a solution. • Girl on Girl is a niche-oriented and commercially viable film. Let’s face it, with a title like Girl on Girl, even the most unsuspecting moviegoers’ interest will be peaked. • Girl on Girl has the potential to fundamentally impact society’s reception of LBTQ women, through commercial distribution and academic circulation. YOUTH ENGAGEMENT PLAN Engagement programs for adolescents can prompt educators to acquire the film as a tool to discuss sexism and the objectification of women, and to open the floor for teens to discuss the complexities of sexuality and gender presentation. This sort of conversation would cultivate LGBTQ visibility on a larger scale, validate the identities of both lesbian and heterosexual women and girls, provide positive role models, and engage more youth in guided conversations about the LGBTQ community. Working with select high school teachers and college professors, we plan to create age/level-appropriate supplemental materials to prompt discussion and to engage students in relevant conversations after viewing the film. PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PLAN With sufficient funding, we will build an interactive Girl on Girl website and/or application, including a discussion board, resource directory, community events listing, and an interactive application that would allow women to chat with other members of the community. Using a platform similar to a dating site, the application would help ‘invisible’ lesbians find and connect with other women like themselves, ultimately cultivating an international network of women who can support, advise, and simply communicate with one another through a safe and secure website. We also plan to bring screenings and talk-backs to communities throughout the United States and, with luck, throughout the world! Lauren Bedford Russell, best known for her appearance on Season 3 of "The Real L Word," and her jewelry line, Lyon Fine Jewelry, is back to talk about the challenges of not being taken seriously as a lesbian, even after achieving celebrity status. A former lawyer, turned lesbian porn producer, Jincey Lumpkin spends her days producing films, writing her sex column in the Huffington Post, and simply representing our community as an out, audacious, sex- positive, feminine-lesbian advocate! Ashleigh, Destini, and baby Saibra. This very modern, “Fosters-like" family (*ABC FAMILY SHOW) navigates raising a toddler and planning a second pregnancy in a not-quite-so-liberal American town. Follow Celina as she deals with the ups and downs of joining a new LGBTQ college campus community, and learns that even in New York, one's identity can be challenged. Lyndi, a former member of the United States Air Force, came out before the appeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” and faced the possibility of being dishonorably discharged- until her femininity left others believing that she couldn't possibly be gay. After Karen accidentally came out while on a phone call with her mother, she spent three years facing isolation from her family, homelessness, and having to drop out of school. With a renewed sense of self, Karen establishes herself and proves her resilience in the face of skepticism and negativity. For over 25 years, Kris has embraced her femininity while living life as an activist and social worker. In the 1980s, she lived in an exclusively lesbian-feminist community, practicing the woman-identified-woman lifestyle which excluded men from all aspects of their society. She has experienced the true diversity of the lesbian community and witnessed its evolution JODI SAVITZ Director/Producer/Director of Photography Jodi Savitz is an independent documentary filmmaker based out of Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

The set design for the 88th annual production, For the Record, called for a massive 11-foot-diameter rotating globe suspended above the stage and wrapped in the masthead of the show’s fictional newspaper, the Chicago Offering.

The globe began as a plain white (albeit custom-built) inflatable balloon, but after its initial multisection muslin wrap was created (to determine shrinkage), it was deflated, rigged, reinflated, motorized, map-designed, taped for a paint mask, primed, painted, and unpeeled to reveal computer-generated, to-scale continents.

  • Representations of Bisexual Women in Twenty-First Century Popular Culture
    Straddling (In)Visibility: Representations of Bisexual Women in Twenty-First Century Popular Culture Sasha Cocarla A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate of Philosophy in Women's Studies Institute of Feminist and Gender Studies Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ottawa © Sasha Cocarla, Ottawa, Canada 2016 Abstract Throughout the first decade of the 2000s, LGBTQ+ visibility has steadily increased in North American popular culture, allowing for not only more LGBTQ+ characters/figures to surface, but also establishing more diverse and nuanced representations and storylines. Bisexuality, while being part of the increasingly popular phrase of inclusivity (LGBTQ+), however, is one sexuality that not only continues to be overlooked within popular culture but that also continues to be represented in limited ways. In this doctoral thesis I examine how bisexual women are represented within mainstream popular culture, in particular on American television, focusing on two, popular programs (The L Word and the Shot At Love series). These texts have been chosen for popularity and visibility in mainstream media and culture, as well as for how bisexual women are unprecedentedly made central to many of the storylines (The L Word) and the series as a whole (Shot At Love). This analysis provides not only a detailed historical account of bisexual visibility but also discusses bisexuality thematically, highlighting commonalities across bisexual representations as well as shared themes between and with other identities. By examining key examples of bisexuality in popular culture from the first decade of the twenty- first century, my research investigates how representations of bisexuality are often portrayed in conversation with hegemonic understandings of gender and sexuality, specifically highlighting the mainstream "gay rights" movement's narrative of "normality" and "just like you" politics.

    The L Life: The L Word and Narrating Biographies Leah Barbara Caluzzi Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Masters of Arts (Screen Studies) July 2015 Department of Culture and Communication, Faculty of Arts University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper 1 Abstract This thesis examines the reception of the television series The L Word by young adult lesbians in Melbourne. It shows the influence of the series as a media object that is significant to three aspects of these women’s lesbian lifestyle construction: coming out, lifestyle development, and integration into the lesbian community. This thesis argues that, as a media object, the series helps these lesbians narrate their own biographies as they negotiate their life transitions into adulthood. 2 Declaration This is to certify that: i. this thesis comprises only my original work towards the Masters ii. due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used iii. this thesis is less than 40,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies and appendices Leah Barbara Caluzzi Date: 9-11-15 3 Acknowledgements I would like to take the opportunities to acknowledge the many people who have helped to make this project possible. Firstly I would like to thank my primary supervisor, Assoc. Professor Audrey Yue for her tireless guidance and direction across the length of this project. I would also like to thank my secondary supervisor Dr. Fran Martin for all her assistance and support. Thanks must also go to the School of Culture and Communication Research Support staff, whom I have called upon many times throughout this process.

It is intended to serve as a road map toward increasing fair, accurate, and inclusive LGBT media representations. GLAAD has seen time and again how images of multi-dimensional gay and transgender people on television have the power to change public percep- tions. The Pulse of Equality Survey, commissioned by GLAAD and conducted by Harris Interactive, confirmed a growing trend toward greater acceptance among the American public. Among the 19% who reported that their feelings toward gay and lesbian people have become more favorable over the past 5 years, 34% cited “seeing gay or lesbian characters on television” as a contrib- uting factor. In fact when Vice President Joe Biden endorsed marriage equality this year, he cited the NBC sitcom Will & Grace as one of the factors that led to a better understanding of the LGBT community by the American public. As diverse LGBT images in the media become more prevalent, the general public becomes exposed to the truth of the LGBT community: lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans are parents and teachers, law enforce- ment and soldiers, high school students and loving elderly couples.

  • Dec 8 10Pmet
    SERIES PREMIERE ET DEC 8 10PMPT INTRO Letter from Marja-Lewis Ryan I was 19 when The L Word® first aired, and Ilene Chaiken’s original series made me believe that my voice mattered. It profoundly influenced both my personal and professional life. For the first time ever, I saw myself reflected both on screen and behind the camera. The power of that really can’t be underplayed. It allowed me to dream up the career that I have now. I met Ilene a few years ago when we were both hired to write on a feature. A few months after that job ended, I sent her an email to congratulate her on The Handmaid’s Tale. She sent me an email back asking me if I wanted to pitch to create an L Word reboot. As you could imagine, I thought it was a joke. After a handful of surreal meetings, here we are, 10 years after Ilene left off with her original version, I get to pick up with my new one: THE L WORD: GENERATION Q. I describe my take as: queer, confident, aspirational, and joyful. I remind my collaborators that even as the world has changed, normalization is still radical. Our audience still needs to know that queer people are just people; they have jobs and they get coffee. I am beyond excited for the opportunity to usher in the next generation of diverse queer people. A generation that looks like Los Angeles does now. I couldn’t imagine a better time to make this show.
