Paley released her first feature, Sita Sings the Blues, for free to the public in March 2009 under a Creative Commons Share-Alike license, dedicating it to the public domain 5 years later. In addition, Paley has written and designed a companion book, The Seder-Masochism: A Haggadah and Anti-Haggadah, currently available through Amazon. Seder-Masochismhas been in the works since 2012 when Paley first animated a scene called This Land Is Mine, a parody about never-ending conflict in the Levant which has been viewed over 10 million times on various online channels. The film puts a twist on the traditional Biblical story by including a female deity perspective – the Goddess in a tragic struggle against the forces of patriarchy. Seder-Masochism, an animated musical, loosely follows the Passover Seder story, with events from the Book of Exodus retold by Moses, Aharon, the Angel of Death, Jesus and the director’s father.

This trip will also be my last chance to visit the fabled Pentshack, my home in the early 1990’s. But when it’s 96° and humid, I’m not gonna ride anyway.

I just bought plane tickets an hour ago, partly because the weather forecast for Urbana IL predicts highs of 96☏ Thursday onwards, while San Francisco’s predicted highs are 30☏ lower. I didn’t even make a Jew Card until I started Seder-Masochism, a decade after I left the Bay Area. (The whole time I lived in San Francisco, I never used my Jew Card.
