Lesbian National Parks and Services: A Force of Nature
Lesbian National Parks and Services: A Force of Nature follows the intrepid Lesbian Rangers as they patrol, educate, and illustrate lesbian survival skills. This documentary about the Force archly parodies the so-called objectivity of educational films, while playfully recasting the wilds from a lesbian perspective, calling into question prevalent notions of nature and normalcy.

A Day in the Life of a Bull-Dyke follows a big boned butch into skirmishes, drag, and the arms of a beautiful recruit. The public and private lives of this "strange animal" are explored with the reverence and glee found in the educational exposés like Reefer Madness and bad-boy films like Rebel without a Cause. However, because this fictionalized lesbian history is a first-person narrative, it is filled with all the joy, pain, and ambivalence each of us experiences while negotiating a marginalized identity.
At long last, everything you've always wanted to know about "down there" but were afraid to ask. A tender tale wherein our heroine, Ms. V..soul sisters her way into your heart with the hottest rap this side of the uterus. She sings!!! She dances!!! She's Big!!! It's a wear and care manual, it's a delightful tour.
Using the metaphor of suburban architecture, Homogeneity archly critiques the desire for conformity within the queer community.
Lesbian National Parks and Services' Endangered Species are a series of public service announcements, created by the indefatigable Lesbian Rangers, who serve the lesbian wilds from dawn to dusk and well beyond.
This video tape is a triptych about love and desire.
Good Citizen: Betty Baker is a tongue-in-cheek mystery, full of unexpected twists. It features Betty, a civic-minded housewife who inhabits a cartoonish, 2-D, 1950s-inspired world, replete with narrow-minded peril. The story begins when Prince Philip goes missing and Betty finds a clue that leads her on a thrilling chase from her neighbour’s trash, to a strangely exciting all-girls bar, to the local chapter of 100% Women. Accompanied by the musical stylings of Marilyn Lerner, this frolicking satire irreverently unravels right-wing family values.
What Does a Lesbian Look Like? was a video created for Much Music, Canada's music video station. A fast-paced spoken word piece, it exposes all the common myths and stereotypes about lesbians, and revels in them!
