Written and Produced by Sarah Jacobson
The punk coming-of-age story Hollywood could never make, Sarah Jacobson’s only feature film is a raw and riotous underground DIY masterpiece that demands rediscovery. Sarah Jacobson’s punk-spirited DIY films from the 1990s combine B-movie aesthetics and riot grrrl feminism, standing as a testament to the vision, determination, and raw talent of the Queen of Underground Cinema. Taking on every major function from production through distribution, Sarah Jacobson proved herself as a shit-kicker and rule-breaker, finding fans in filmmakers Allison Anders (Gas Food Lodging) and Tamra Davis (Crossroads), as well as Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth. Mary Jane’s Not a Virgin Anymore is a vibrant and vital antidote to every phony Hollywood teen picture, bringing lo-fi realness to the coming-of-age genre.
