Rock Star Bible
By: Olivia DiLillo and Isabella Frandsen
Over the course of six weeks in New York City, this project documented the evolving landscape of the local music scene through raw footage of live shows and in-depth interviews with emerging and established bands. The film explores critical themes such as the cultural shifts before and after COVID-19, the impact of gentrification on creative spaces, gender dynamics within the scene, and the complex role of drug use in artistic expression. Through candid storytelling and immersive visuals, the project captures a city, and a subculture, in transition.

This documentary focuses on how these women who famously didn’t give a shit about people’s opinions of their music managed to shape an emergent music scene. Conversations with Marcia, Gail Elise, Lesa, and Amy are complemented by interviews with other artists and audience members from that era’s punk and garage band scenes, alongside music historians, and contemporary musicians who owe a debt of gratitude to the Klitz.

She also discussed how perceptions of Memphis often overlook its history, resilience, and the strength of its people, emphasizing that the neighborhood is far more than the stereotypes that surround it.
