Tick tock, tick tock, what the hell is with this biological clock?!

I'd like to open up the floor to any and all women who might have something to say about the female biological clock. I'm 28 years old and seem to be experiencing what I thought was only a myth! It's become a running joke amongst my friends and I, but despite the laughter, there's a real physical and emotional element that's confusing and frustrating to deal with. Is this something everyone goes through? Is it different for all? Is it our body telling us our time is running out? What is this inc… Continue

Goodbye Facebook

Goodbye Facebook...Sort of. I can reactivate my account any time, friends can still tag photos of me and my information will forever float in the embrace of Facebook cyberspace. As I sat on the Metrobus this past Friday during a heavy Newfoundland downpour, I opened up my laptop and took the few nervous steps of cutting myself out of the mega social network. I was now out of the Facebook loop forever (sort of). I'd been wanting to get off the crack-book for about a year now, prepping myself with… Continue

Making small choices for my greater good

I gave up drinking quite naturally over the past year...It just happened. I started to get up early in the mornings, filling my weekends with art projects, with love, with things that seemed to get in the way of drinking. And I needed to do that and was glad it happened so naturally. These days, I find myself drinking a little more, not often, but when I do it's excessive and I feel out of control. I haven't ruined my life or anyone elses for that matter, but I am all too familiar with the early… Continue

I'm depressed and want to do something about it-Here is Step 1

I sat at my desk writing this week, working as hard as I could on a new script I was going to submit to the arts council for production. A simple idea about a 40 year old woman who was afraid to go outside. It was something I could do with little money, shoot in my house and work on developing my directing. On the day of the deadline, I'd stopped. I didn't want to do it. So I didn't. Why? Because I needed to fail. Because I was sick to death of writing about sad and lonely people. More to the po… Continue

The 48th Parallel Project is A ROCK ISLAND PRODUCTION.

HOUSEKEEPING

Our name was inspired by a survey of elected women in governments worldwide showing Canada in the disappointing position of #48. And over the past two years we've dropped to 50 and risen to 47....
We're a politically motivated, artistically driven platform for feminists interested in challenging the status quo.
We invite filmmakers, artists and activists to express themselves and contribute their art and ideas.
We're committed to showcasing female artists and to connecting with women around the world.
We believe we have a responsibility to support womens' struggle for human rights and equality globally.
We also believe in using art and entertainment to mix it up in the political world.
Our logo is by young Newfoundland artist Isabelle Riche. Welcome!
Please drop me a line here, anytime!
Cheers, Rosemary
