Girls, on Film
Girls, on Film was founded in December 2017 by long-time friends Stephanie McDevitt and Janene Scelza (pronounced Skell-za). Girls, on Film is a quarterly zine about 80s films. For each issue, we discuss eight 80s movies related to a particular theme.
We are currently a group of four regular writers including Dr. Rhonda Baughman and Janene’s brother, Matt, who co-writes with her on essays. We have also had many guest writers over the years. We recently published our 21st issue, about adventure films of the 1980s, and will publish our next issue, on 80s movies about aliens, around Halloween.
Digital issues are free on our website. We sell full-color print copies on our website, in select bookstores, and at zine festivals and art book fairs. Learn more at girlsonfilmzine.com, or find us on Instagram at @girlson80sfilms.com.
Stephanie McDevitt, Co-Founder/Editor
Stephanie's one big disappointment in life is that she wasn’t old enough to fully appreciate popular clothing styles in the 1980s, as she was mostly attired in paisley sweatsuits. A full-time editor and occasional freelancer, Stephanie looks nostalgically back on '80s films such as Ernest Goes to Camp, Adventures in Babysitting, and Can’t Buy Me Love and wishes she could pull off the hairdos of Cindy Mancini and her friends.
Janene Scelza, Co-Founder/Editor
Janene spent a hefty part of her teens combing musty video stores and public libraries for all the '80s movies she could find. There were lists! Janene's got plenty of favorites from the decade, but it’s stylish indie films like Desperately Seeking Susan, Repo Man, and The Terminator that she loves best.
We’re based in the DC metro area.
