MARY JANE’S NOT A VIRGIN ANYMORE & THE FILMS OF SARAH JACOBSON

Sarah Jacobson's punk-spirited DIY films from the 1990scombine B-movie aesthetics and riot grrrl feminism, standing as a testament to the vision, determination, and raw talent of the “Queen of Underground Cinema.” MARY JANE'S NOT A VIRGIN ANYMORE (Jacobson's only feature film) is a vibrant and vital antidote to every phony Hollywood teen picture, bringing lo-fi realness to the coming-of-age genre. I WAS A TEENAGE SERIAL KILLER (Jacobson's underground sensation) is SLACKER meets Valerie Solanas, as a woman responds to catcalls, condescension, and bad sex the only way she knows how: murder. Taking on every major role of filmmaking from production through distribution, Sarah Jacobson was a shitkicker and rulebreaker, finding fans in filmmakers Allison Anders (GAS, FOOD LODGING) and Tamra Davis (CROSSROADS), as well as Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth.
