The Lydia Pink Project (2002-2006) was a project supported by a grant from Open Meadows Foundation to distribute two dyke-empowering short narrative movies to 100 LGBTQ and diversity-focused youth groups and community centers around the U.S. The videos — Lydia Li and Camouflage Pink — were sent via DVDs in hot pink plastic covers.
About the videos:
Lydia Li: Queer girl love story + videosploitation!
A queer Asian American college student studying video production and film theory finds herself framed within video aesthetics determined by her emotions. When Tarot cards suggest nothing promising and fellow students critique her ideas, she finds herself trapped in desaturated wide shots… and only love can save her!

Camouflage PINK
Her demeanor may scream tough militant dyke, but Rayna’s insides are gooey and pink. Her journal entries rhyme. And the truth is, she really wants to go to the prom.
