Critic-turned-filmmaker Katherine Monk trains her lens on DJ Rhiannon Rozier in this short film about breaking the glass ceiling in a music industry dominated by men. The Vancouver-raised, university-educated Rozier was so intent on making a career in the Electronic Dance Music (EDM) scene that she did something she never thought she’d do: she posed for Playboy.

Notes

Warnings: Language, nudity, images and discussion of sexuality.

For mature audiences. This short film shares the story of DJ Rhiannon Rozier, who works in the male-dominated music industry. Ideal for beginning discussions on female sexuality in modern media, the view of women in media, and females in male-dominated occupations. Have students consider the sides of themselves that they share with others: What is your public persona, and how does it differ from the you that family and friends know?
