Gangly Sister Productions Overview
Gangly Sister is producing Purple and Nine, a new web video series to encourage girls to enjoy technology, take risks, and express themselves. Entertainment for smart girls. (That's you, girl.) We want our girls respected for their smarts and strength, but we bombard them with images of women valued for their sweetness or sensuality. If we want media that reflects who we are, who we want to be, and who we want our girls to be, we ladies are just going to have to do it ourselves. As usual. And why not? Introducing Purple and Nine, the fun, smart TV show for girls. No perfect body, wand, or sparkles required. Just two very clever girls who solve their problems through technology.
