Inspired by our discovery of Ella Higginson, Womxn Among Us is an effort to recognize and honor women in our community (a frequent oversight in our history books).
The ephemeral impact women have had on our history really pisses us off. The larger culture seems to do well at preserving the stories of men, but egregiously fails when it comes to those who do not perpetuate the patriarchy.
So we're starting with the women right here in our community. For the month of March--women's history month--let's talk about the Womxn Among Us.
Just Like the Men
We are currently in the throes of Phase I pre-production on our "Ella" project! We've adapted Ella's original screenplay and will eventually weave it in a modern narrative that tells the story of two women on the hunt for Ella's lost work.
We are currently scheduled to shoot Phase I summer of 2018, so stay tuned for more updates!

Crow Talk: Film Squawk is an exciting journey into the world of podcasting. Every month, Crows choose a current film that features a strong female role--acting, writing, directing--and gives three reasons to see it and three reasons you might want to pass. Not to mention a whole lot o' opinion! Check it out for some serious squawking about our favorite thing!
Free The Penis
Some years ago, we started a conversation about the severe lack of din-a-ling in film. What's that about? It really bothered us. So we started talking about it with other people, and it started to bother them. We kept talking, and talking, until finally, we knew we had to turn the camera on.
And lo! Free The Penis was born!
This short really just grazes the tip (ha). It deserves to be a larger conversation, involving as many view points--particularly outside the gender binary--as we can capture. Adapting Free The Penis into a feature is our next big docu-project, because it's a problem and people want to talk about it. So let's.

The official unofficial behind-the-scenes peak at the ins and outs of Talking To Crows from me, the intern. Follow this blog as I divulge my thoughts, opinions, and photos of this crazy experience with this mad bunch of filmmakers.
What to expect: sneak peeks, tidbits, totally relevant memes, and probably selfies (maybe; totally). Basically, I hacked into this website and can do whatever I want.
