“Whether we make online videos that directly respond to terrible portrayals of us in the media, videos with the purpose of educating and doing advocacy, or produce feature films, sex workers who make media are constantly pressed up against all of our stereotypes. Over the last decade, I have dealt with documentary media about sex work as an audience member, a subject, and a producer. Whether we’re portrayed as villains or victims, pretty women or desperate girls, sex workers are a popular focus of documentary projects. But the only way to reach beyond simplistic narratives is for sex workers to be involved in the production of these projects.”

- Audacia Ray has a guest post about docs made by sex workers up on Bitch Flicks for their sex worker representation in film week. The piece includes VAMP’s response to VICE’s Prostitutes of God, “I Am A Sex Worker,” “Every Ho I Know Says So,” “Drowning” and “Los Caminos” from Voices of Women Media, Live Nude Girls Unite, American Courtesans, and our forthcoming doc The Red Umbrella Diaries.
