KickStarter: She Makes Comics


Available for purchase from Etsy. US$

Now is your chance to be drawn by Jill Thompson, Colleen Doran, or Julia Baritz and help fund a documentary about the history of women in comics in the process.  Sequart, the organization that produced the comic documentaries Grant Morrison: Talking with Gods and The Image Revolution has teamed with Respect! Films on a Kickstarter to produce a new film, She Makes Comics.


Directed by Marisa Stotte and co-produced with Karen Green, She Makes Comics looks at women in the comics industry as far back as the Golden Age. Going through the eras and featuring a bevy of talented artists speaking on the subject, including Karen Berger, Shelly Bond and Jackie Estrada. As of the posting of this article, the KickStarter campaign hasn't reached its goal yet, but it has four weeks to go and plenty of excellent rewards left.
"The documentary will mostly be an oral history told by the key figures themselves. It will feature interviews with significant female creators and executives from the major eras of comics history. The women who changed comics will be telling their stories in their own words. We will also feature insightful commentary from observers both inside and outside of the comics industry: experts, scholars, writers, artists, actors, filmmakers."
