Valencia: Chapter 20
2013, 6 min
Greg and I are proud to contribute to Michelle Tea's omnibus film based on her 2000 novel, Valencia. Headed by Michelle and producer/filmmaker Hilary Goldberg, the project brings together twenty queer filmmakers who each contribute a 5-7 minute short based on a chapter from the book. Participating filmmakers include Cheryl Dunye, Courtney Trouble, Silas Howard, Michelle Lawlor, Samuel Topiary, and Cary Cronenwett.
Our 6 minute video uses revoiced found footage and DIY visual effects to "cast" Angelina Jolie as Michelle, reusing footage from her many iconic crypto-dyke roles of the mid-1990s: Gia, Foxfire, Girl Interrupted, and even Hackers!
