The feature-length documentary film, All We've Got, directed by Alexis Clements, directed by Alexis Clements, received its world premiere at NewFest, New York City's LGBTQ film festival, and has subsequently screened at festivals, museums, universities, and community organizations across the US, Europe, South America, and in Korea. The film is being distributed by Women Make Movies.

All We've Got is a personal exploration of LGBTQI+ women’s communities, cultures, and social justice work through the lens of the physical spaces they create, from bars to bookstores to arts and political hubs. This project also asks questions about who has access to space in our society and why community matters.

Recent Podcast Project

In 2021 we launched The Answer is No, a podcast featuring conversations with artists, writers, and filmmakers about how they sustain their careers and stay sane by saying no to bad gigs in order to say yes to the good ones. Artists featured in the first season include Yanira Castro, Fields Harrington, Becca Blackwell, Josué Rivas, Lise Soskolne, Lola Flash, and Ali Cotterill. This project was created as a collaboration between Alexis Clements and Ali Cotterill.
