Esther Bell, 2000, 88 min

A digital feature with a classic punk spirit, GodAss is a dark coming-of-age comedy about how having a gay father can be the least of a girl's problems. Watching her idol give himself fellatio is hardly the most disturbing event Teri has encountered growing up. GodAss follows Teri's flight from her unbalanced family and secluded punk-rock circle in South Carolina to New York, where she is determined to bring her zine to a more sympathetic audience. But the Big Apple is also home of her estranged father. In meeting him, Teri discovers that the secret to confronting her troubled young life is interlocked in understanding her gay father. Starring Fred Schneider ( of the B-52s) and Julianne Nicholson, with Anna Grace (Girlstown, I Shot Andy Warhol), Tina Holmes (Edge of Seventeen) and David Ilku (Liquid Sky), with cameos from underground filmmakers Bill Plympton and Sarah Jacobson, and a soundtrack by Lunachicks, Sleepyhead, Hammerbrain and many more.
