Boobie
Girl is a film that came straight from my heart. It is based
on my own positive experience of having a breast reduction
after being back-achingly busty for many years. People worldwide,
of all sizes, have told me they relate to the story- it’s
one of self-love and being careful what you wish for.
The film took about a year to make. I drew all of the animation
by hand on paper, then colored it with markers. There are
over 3,500 drawings in this 5-minute, 35mm film. It was my
Master’s thesis for CalArts.
Treasured voice talent, June
Foray narrated Boobie Girl. June is best known for her
voice as ‘Rocket J. Squirrel’ (Bullwinkle’s
pal). Nik Phelps of San Francisco’s Sprocket Ensemble
scored the piece with original music and Mark Jensen did the
sound design.
Boobie Girl and I have traveled the world- it’s been
absolutely incredible! Sundance, Cannes, Tokyo, Ottawa- plus
many others- just amazing. One of the best experiences I had
was with Lunafest;
whose proceeds go to the Breast Cancer Fund. They chose me
to travel the U.S. to speak to young women about being a filmmaker.
It was a huge honor and great fun.
I funded my travel to film festivals by selling Boobie Girl
t-shirts to happy audience members. Plus I’ve given
out thousands of Boobie Girl stickers just for fun. I love
stickers. The proceeds from shirts and videos sold on my site
will go to pay for the film I’m working on now.
Enjoy the rest of the site!
