I WAS A TEENAGE SERIAL KILLER
(Sarah Jacobson / USA / 1993 / 27min)
Mary was a good girl until she decided to kill all the "sexist pigs". She of course encounters many, and enjoys killing them in this lo-fi short. This screening is a tribute to Sarah Jacobson who died on February 13th 2004 after a battle with cancer. "One thing that really inspires me, is no one can really stop you - I mean, who's gonna stop you?" Sarah asked.
