What it’s about. Optically printed, hand processed and painted: the film process is manipulated to disrupt viewing expectations on a textual and aesthetic level.

By shifting the discourse of the gaze, the film implicates viewers in the gazes operating between the filmmaker and her self-identified lesbian butch subjects. -Canyon Cinema
