The Real Girl’s Guide to Everything Else (a web series)

Directed by Heather De Michelle

written by Carmen Elena Mitchell

 When a journalist is nearly dropped by her agent because her work is too smart, political, lesbian and feminist…she goes undercover as a glitter-wearing, shoe-obsessed, Cosmo-drinking straight girl and attempts to write the next "Chick-Lit" best seller in order to finance her dream project about Afghan women's struggle for civil rights.

Heather de Michele (Director) has 15 years experience directing and producing professional theater, most recently as Artistic Director for American Girl Theater, NYC and Co-Founder/Artistic Director for On the Verge Theater Co., NYC.  Her film credits include the feature documentary Lesbian Pulp-O-Rama Goes to Sweden! and Sondra Stingray: Sapphic Gumshoe.  She is a VCAM director/producer for Current TV and is preparing to direct her first music video this Spring.
