never tell me the odds
LOOKING FOR LEIA is on an epic search across the galaxy (or at least this system) to interview girls and women who are passionate about Star Wars and have a story to tell. Girls & Women = anyone who identifies as such. Women of cisgender experience, women of transgender experience, masculine of center/butch women, queer women, straight women, people who identify as gender non-binary or gender nonconforming and feel that their story belongs in a film about fangirls. Gender is a big, complex concept: For this project, the shorthand "women" and "female" includes ALL the kinds of women described above.
Because this project is particularly interested in how the experience of marginalization influences our methods of resilience, we're highlighting the voices of women of color, immigrant women, Muslim women, queer and trans women, youth and elders, disabled women, poor women, Deaf women, and women who live at the intersections of one or more these experiences. We want to talk to women who work in STEM, women in the 501st, teachers, podcasters, authors, bloggers, cosplayers, artists, community leaders, multi-generational fans, rebels, scoundrels, bounty hunters... you get the idea.
We're also working with women behind the camera and in post-production. If you're a camera operator, sound mixer, editor, motion graphics artist, animator, or illustrator and want to work on this project, reach out. Our budget might not look like much, but we've got it where it counts. Fangirl created art? Please get in touch, we really want to feature your work.
If you're a self-identified guy and want to help out, we'd love to have you support this project behind the scenes. Share your resources, promote the project on social media, connect us to the awesome women you know who should be on screen.
