We succeeded in our vision to have a women led team from writing, direction, producing, cinematography and more.

Buttball is a reflection on our meaningful, life-altering female moments—ones we don’t necessarily identify as defining our path forward but that somehow shaped us and formed us as women. Erin’s path is left unknown because feminism is hard and complicated and is a constant, enduring fight.
