Vanessa just pointed me to The Bechdel Test:
- Does the film have two women with names in it?
- Do these two women talk to each other?
- Do they talk to each other about something other than a man?
What is particularly surprising is how few movies can pass this test. Every screenwriter should give this thought before hitting the keyboards. [...]
Vanessa and I were hipped to this “video essay” by editor Louise Ford. Thanks Lou! And you’ve got to dig Jesus Lizard (although I’ve only licensed them once, in Hal Hartley’s AMATEUR).

This site could not have been built without the help and insight of Michael Morgenstern. My thanks go out to him.
Help save indie film and give this guy a job in web design or film!
