Anna, a young lesbian, still shy and unsure of herself, works in the office of a plastic surgeon who specializes in boob jobs. She's recently broken up, but lives with her very supportive parents. One night Anna catches a woman spray-painting revolutionary feminist slogans on the side of the clinic where she works. She goes on to join Clits in Action, the C(i)A, and takes part in a number of guerrilla street theater actions, but comes to realize that the group needs to take a different tack if it wants to be more than a drop in the bucket. At the same time, the group is splintering because of personality clashes and romantic jealousies. Anna plans an action that will really get the masses to take notice.
Itty Bitty Titty Committee is great fun, for gay men almost as much as for lesbian feminists. A strong cast, including several first-time actors pulled from MySpace and other online communities, puts together a lively manifesto to challenge the patriarchy. Strongly recommended.
Producer Andrea Sperling was honored with the 2007 Frameline Award for her work on films including D.E.B.S., But I'm a Cheerleader, Prozac Nation, and Gregg Araki's The Living End and Totally F∗∗∗ed Up. Congratulations!
