Overview
What do Asia Argento, Margaret Cho, Lydia Lunch, Silas Howard and Nic Harcourt (amongst other luminaries) all have in common?

VENUS FLYTRAP! – the FIRST digital scripted series about women in rock. Venus Flytrap is a band of young women intent on grabbing rock and roll by the balls in the land of Trumpistan. It’s “Fearless Girl” staring down “Charging Bull” on Wall Street with guitars. It’s PUSSY GRABS BACK in a queer-centric provocative show whose time has come. The punk feminist VENUS FLYTRAP (VFT) and their various cohorts will disrupt the entertainment status quo with their own unique brand of comedy, anarchy, music and mayhem. We’re totally going for it, lady-balls OUT and ON FIRE!

Have you watched VINYL, FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS, THE GET DOWN, ROADIES or THE MIGHTY BOOSH? What is missing in these shows? Why are the women always groupies, roadies, singing girl-group femmes or facilitators to the guys? The missing female musical rebellion that has always been here will rise again through our catalysts – punk rockers TINK(erbelle), JOEY, TASHA and DEE.

We’ll watch VFT navigate a world of dysfunctional families, sexualities, rival bands (THE MOLESTED and THE PORNIMALS) and eccentric managers trying to push them into absurd concepts and styles in an attempt to snag the tarnished golden ring of rock glory. Guest appearances by artists/bands (contemporary and from punk and no wave’s glory days) will abound – the older generation of legendary wild women will show up as grannies, mothers and managers. The VFT series will raise all hell about politricks, take down the commercial recording industry and shame the cultural gatekeepers while fighting the tyranny of our present days.

What beats at the heart of this Kali-esque beauty-beast? Rock’s lost essence of protest and the absence of a gender-bending revolutionary 'fuck you' spirit in contemporary music. The moment is ripe for female insurgency in art again. Help Venus Flytrap become the VERY FIRST SCRIPTED SERIES ON THE MAP ABOUT A BAND OF FEMALE PUNK ROCKERS. Support us as we show the world how women have always held a crucial space within rock’s freedom cry and still do today, with a BALL-BREAKING REBEL YELL. And sign on for our updates. We'll be rolling out scorching little videos to push you over the brink and into a pledge!

ZAMI GIRL STORIES is creator/writer/director ADELE BERTEI and producer NATALIE HILL. Adele grew up in the NO WAVE art/music scene of the late 1970s/80s and is best known for her role in Lizzie Borden’s feminist science fiction film BORN IN FLAMES as well as bands THE CONTORTIONS and the first out-lesbian rock band, THE BLOODS. She’s had hits with Thomas Dolby and Jellybean Benitez and has toured with/ written songs for many musical icons. Producer NATALIE HILL has a long-standing reputation in the commercial film industry as a DGA award-winning producer. Natalie produced a feature, Arthur Newman, starring Colin Firth and Emily Blunt. She auspiciously began her career as production manager on Jenny Livingston’s PARIS IS BURNING.

 

Your enthusiasm and support!  We’ve created a bitchin’ teaser to give you hints of what to expect. You've heard of the Von Trapp family? Pledge with us and join the Von Flytrapp family as we give birth to a content revolution.

Our first Tier is $50,000.00 which will get you 5 episodes of VFT, but your pledged support above and beyond will insure that we're able to include all the phenomenal talent who want to be part of this. We have a boatload of scripts and songs, and we'd love to feature at least one song in each episode alá Flight of the Conchords, but we need big $$$$ to manifest our vision. Imagine Baz Luhrman meets Broad City on a tight budget and join with us in this crucial stage of development. The more you pledge, the hotter and more star-studded  the series!
