As Julia Bryan-Wilson recalls: “I attended many screenings, in New York at the Clit Club, in Olympia, WA, in Portland, and other places. Here my memory gets a little vague but I recall that Miranda would always make a participatory video “Nobody Every Told Me…”, in which audience members would complete that phrase, and then their confessions were shown as part of the screening. People consistently said such surprising and raw and moving things.”
