SXSW '08 | Bi the Way

"Bi The Way" co-directors Brittany Blockman and Josephine Decker and producer Martha Shane received a standing ovation following the world premiere of their film, which is screening in the SXSW Special Screenings section. The doc turns the spotlight in what they view as a rising "coming out" of people, primarily teens and those in their 20s, of people who consider themselves either "bisexual," "pan-sexual," or "no label." I was watching [television's] "The O.C." and Mischa Barton's character kissed another girl and I was wondering if this was just another 'bi-chic' moment or was this a [sign of a] new sexual revolution...," Blockman commented after the screening.
