Tomboy

Lindsay Lindenbaum

Shot over a five-year period in a nuanced, cinematic style, Tomboy tells the story of four women drummers, making their mark in a stereotypically masculine field. Together they span sixty years of popular music - celebrated through a trove of previously unseen archival footage, intimate portraiture, insightful interviews and some serious drumming skills. The film captures the intoxicating atmosphere onstage, then goes beyond to chart each artist’s personal journey, converging in a unique celebration of the female experience that hits hard and hits home
