A really simple, syrupy short of lesbians meeting in a professional environment and one slipping the other her number. At 9 minutes there's not a lot of story and only 3 characters but it is seriously cute and worth the watch even with some technical issues (the focus is often slightly out.) This is an … Continue reading Dyke Media Watch: Meet Cute (2020) →

I struggle to write a sufficient summary of this because it's firmly in the "I was not emotionally prepared for that" file while being an absolutely fantastic film. This one hits a lot of points about … Continue reading Dyke Media Watch: Snapshots (2018) →

Sure, you can take one budget horror movie, slice it into episodes then give it an equally budget second season, but just because you can doesn't mean you should. Crazy Bitches was a 2014 horror film that was cut up into 10 episodes to make a serial then an 8 episode second season was created … Continue reading Dyke Media Watch: Crazy Bitches →
