The Guerrilla Girls and Movies by Women have posted the image above as a giant billboard on Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard, just a few blocks from where the Oscar ceremonies will be held. Featuring King Kong in a pink dress, the billboard demands that Hollywood Unleash the Women Directors!
Now you can use stationery that features this fabulous design to let your local theatre managers know how you feel. You can use the links below to download sample letters that you can just print, sign and drop off at the box office the next time you go to the movies.If you're feeling more creative, you can modify our letters or download the blank stationery and write your own letters. We hope you have fun with these!
The Guerrilla Girls will be selling a poster version of this billboard soon on their website at www.GuerrillaGirls.com They have been wonderful advocates for women artists for many years and we encourage you to visit their website and buy their posters, books, and other materials.

A NOTE ABOUT THE FORMATS
Rich Text Format: You can open Rich Text format files in most word processors. Once you download the files, you will be able to modify the text of the letters as you would in any other document. However, the Rich Text format files are quite large (2.4 MB) because of the picture on the top. The files take less than a minute to download on a DSL or Broadband connection, but they may take quite awhile on a dial-up connection.
Adobe Acrobat Format: Adobe Acrobat compresses the files so the .pdf files are much smaller (87 KB), and they will download much faster than the .rtf files once you have Adobe Acrobat Reader open. The picture quality will be the same as the .rtf files, however you will not be able to modify the text in the .pdf versions of the letters.
You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to open the .pdf files. Many computers already have Acrobat Reader installed. If you don't have it, you can download a free copy by clicking on the icon that says "Get Adobe Reader" at: www.adobe.com
If you are downloading the blank stationery, you could download the .pdf version and print the stationery out. Then load the stationery in your printer and write your letters using your regular word processor.
