Based on Michelle Tea’s queer classic, Valencia. This film is a collaborative film project. Twenty one queer filmmakers each shot a 5-7 minute short based on a chapter from the book. Valencia the novel put the experiences of an entire generation of lesbians on paper through the lens of one hard-loving and hard-drinking dyke. Punk rockers, riot grrls, and simple, artsy freaks suddenly had a heroine that they could see themselves in.
