When a Butch Dyke Dies Trailer
Krissy Mahan is a working class daughter, filmmaker, and artist. Over the past twenty years Mahan has developed a body of work exposing the absurdity of man-made barriers to human movement, happiness, and social access. Determined to create a world that is more fun for everyone, Mahan learned to make movies in the early 1990s and hasn’t stopped amusing herself since. Mahan’s screenplays distill social situations in a way that encourage the audience to follow specific humorous personal narratives and see their relationship to the whole. Before teaching in public elementary schools, Mahan was a professional Mx Fix-It, and certified Aging-In-Place Specialist (2011-) trained in modifying living spaces to be compliant with ADA standards.
Mahan’s movies have screened at Anthology Film Archives as part of the inaugural New York City Feminist Film Week (NYC), the British Film Institute (London), Union Docs (Brooklyn), Tisch Film School at New York University with GenderReel, BFI’s “Queer Women In Love” program (various UK locations), Wotever DIY Film Festival (London), Scottish Queer International Film Fest (Glasgow), GAZE Film Festival (Dublin), Creative Quarters Folkstone, Kent (UK), Oska Bright program of Leeds Film Festival (UK), Women Over 50 Film Festival, Brighton (UK), the Austin Gay/Lesbian International Film Festival (US) and the Toronto Queer Film Festival, (Canada) .
