Director Statement

Mixing humor with social commentary and the occasional violent outburst, Lady Parts is a six-episode, comedic web-series focusing on four women who become unlikely friends. The characters are first thrown together at a bachelorette slumber party sans bachelorette. They go on to overcome a lifestyle blogging addiction, endure awkward first dates, fight for professional respect, tackle artist’s block, and attend a feminist march (with scenes shot at the Women’s March in Saint Paul, Minnesota, on January 19, 2017).

Lady Parts was written, directed, filmed, and edited by a female-led crew. The project grew from a desire to create compelling female roles for local actresses and share stories relevant to their lives, all while giving women the opportunity to learn about the process of production.
