In reply to Liza. Liza, those movies sound awesome! I am particularly excited about the Bobby Staff biopic. Where can I see this? As a cast member of "F to 7th", I want to make sure you haven't misconstrued what I have understood to be the thrust of the show. Ingrid's tongue is pretty much surgically implanted in her cheek, but as far as I can tell, the show is (hopefully) humorously taking part in the discussion about gender identity and sexuality. For many years, there has been a move to dismantle the binary construct of masculine/feminine and butch/femme in order to classify gendering along a spectrum. Part of what my character on the show is doing is embodying, and thereby poking fun at, the discomfort this creates in some folks. I can't speak for Ingrid (oh my God, I would never even attempt to), but I can say that I am always excited to see projects that shine a light on the often-unheralded lives of lesbians in a historical context, and am excited to be part of the discussion. I don't think our project is in any way dismissive of the works you have listed above, or suggests that lesbians aren't "still out there, and... still making films".
