Welcome to Women in Film & Video DC! We're here to celebrate women’s creative and technical achievements in media, both in front and behind the camera

Now that the Super Bowl is over, let's talk about

Now that the Super Bowl is over, let's talk about the four seasons of the Houston Herricanes with the documentary's director, Olivia Kuan! The Houston Herricanes were a part of the first women's full tackle football league in the 1970s. Their unknown story is one of commitment, courage, and strength. Despite adversity and hardship, they fielded a team purely for the love of the game. What they started is a movement that is still in motion today.

Cinematographer Olivia Kuan (First Period, I Blame Society, The Clearing) makes her first outing as a documentary film director with this spirited portrait of the untold story of these trailblazing athletes... and it's a story close to her own heart, as Kuan's mother was a Herricane. She will discuss the film's production and distribution processes.
