“What is Wrong with this Picture?” a short feminist film script by Peg Tittle
What is Wrong with this Picture?
This film consists of a collage of scenes, five to ten minutes in length), in which women are always the superordinates and men are always the subordinates. Dialogue isn’t that important, so once the scenes are decided upon and roughed out, the cast can probably improv rather than follow …

Ten years later, she meets Dick, and he’s so –
You’re so – different. Not such an –
