You Don’t Have to Like Me

YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIKE ME delves into the harsh realities of a woman who presents as masculine, grappling with insecurities that threaten to consume her whole being. It captures the moments when disownment can lead to crippling self-judgment, when you feel like nothing more than a shadow of yourself. It’s a testament to the resilience, beauty, and strength of those who defy societal expectations, shedding light on the many facets of being a woman in a world that so often attempts to define and confine us.

Girls in Trouble: The Series - Vashti

Girls in Trouble: The Series – Vashti

GIRLS IN TROUBLE: THE SERIES is an indie web episodic created by two Alicia’s - musician/writer Alicia Jo Rabins and director/editor Alicia J. Rose - produced by Lara Cuddy. After their successful collaboration on feature film A KADDISH FOR BERNIE MADOFF, the team now brings their focus to stories of Biblical women, expanding Rabins' acclaimed song cycle into a series of snappy storytelling episodes. In each episode, Rabins takes the viewer on a journey into a Biblical woman's story through a feminist diasporic lens, visits scholars and artists to get their take on the story, and celebrates the resilience and strength of these ancient characters. Episode 1 “Vashti” features the rebellious antihero of the Purim story, Queen Vashti.
