Director

In the summer of 1995, filmmaker Tex Clark traveled around the country to interview female musicians, journalists and historians about how their sexual and gender identity impacted their lives and informed their work. RADICAL ACT is both a historical document and a celebration of the artistic and political contributions of these artists to a larger movement and legacy by creating their own subculture.

Clark is now an Assistant Federal Public Defender at Public Defender's office in Portland, but continues to draw inspiration from her filmmaking summer.

Erin Donovan, founder of A Million Movies a Minute stated, "It's incredible how much things have changed in 15 years. The film serves as a reminder of how much women's access in independent music as well as pay tribute to the women who knocked down those barriers."
