Jeanetta Rich, poet and filmmaker, holds a mirror to desperation so that you can see yourself. Her work is part social critique and screwball scripture. Hailing from Los Angeles by way of whoredom, she writes about the emotional lives of voiceless women, those who have been silenced through poverty and/or lack of education. By exposing the brain fucking women are subjected in our "waste culture" she calls for a need to switch off selfie mode and pull a community of women into focus, that otherwise would be ignored. Her past accomplishments include Meisner scholarship recipient at the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts and she holds BA in Theatre from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Most recently her work was included in Texte Zur Kunst 30th anniversary issue "The Feminist" and No. 11 in the The Quarterless Review. The film Desperate LA written and directed by Jeanetta Rich premiered summer 2021 at Indie Memphis and streamed on Metrograph in 2022.
