BITCH the movie has been on the "circuit" for about half a year now, and played its fair share of festivals. Anyone who's seen the film knows, it's full of gratuitous punching, threatening gender neutrality, offensive non-colored movieness, and the sensual kissing of Mexicans. Not to mention abortion jokes. Ohhh, the abortion jokes.
Surprisingly, BITCH has played, almost exclusively, at southern US festivals and in fact, has never won a festival award that wasn't in a Red State.
Special Jury Prize- Florida
Honorable Jury Mention- AFI Dallas
Best Texas Filmmaker- USA Film Festival
Best College Short- Nashville
Also played Sarasota and Del Rey Beach Film Festivals (both in Florida)
Also played Atlanta Film Festival (Georgia)
Also accepted to Dallas Film and Video Festival (Texas)
Also accepted to deadCenter (Oklahoma)
Also played Sundance (Utah)
Also accepted to CineVegas (Nevada)
Yes, yes, the last two are technically "southwest" but come on-- Mormons!
So the question is "what the fuck is up?" If these states are such ubiquitously conservative, bible-thumping theocracies, why do Southerners seem to like BITCH the movie the most? BITCH the person thinks maybe there is a higher concentration of frustrated, creative, free-thinking individuals living in the south than anyone realizes. Even Southerners.
Unlike BITCH the movie, perhaps reality isn't so black and white.
