I have lots of things to say about the incredible experience that many of us had at Grrrls on Film last weekend. But this video, filmed by the Music Video Project of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Camps for Girls LA at their GOF booth on Sunday, pretty much sums it up.

Grrrls on Film got off to a great start last night with a very frank, fierce discussion by five powerful women — Karyn Kusama, Leena Pendharkar, Angela Boatwright, Janice Rhoshalle Littlejohn, and Vanessa Newell — about filmmaking. Followed by Dirty Girls and The Runaways, with filmmakers Floria Sigismondi, Michael Lucid, and original girls Amber and Harper answering questions after. More great films and discussions today: lmu.edu/grrrlsonfilm.
