For
Abiola Abrams, goddesses not only have names like
Athena, Venus and Oshun, but they also have names
like Keisha, Nicole and Jessica. "I make my
films by any means necessary and draw on the myths
that abound in many cultures to do so." In
her film Ophelia's Opera, for example, we see lead
characters working out the travails of their abusive
romantic relationships as one speaks in Elizabethan
English verses appropriated from William Shakespeare
and one speaks in original rap verse.
Alicia in Wonderland
has a modern day Alice who lives in Harlem tumbling
down the rabbit hole into the world of S and M to
find her sexual empowerment. Stranded, which was
shot in Berlin, updates an African folktale to tell
a story of missed signals due to
gender-based and cultural misunderstanding.

"The Goddess Factory is a global empowerment
movement using film and pop culture entertainment
as a Trojan horse to inspire women to live the biggest,
most magical lives that they can."
