The Dishes is a feature-length documentary, which is currently being produced by Arts Engine's production department, Big Mouth Films. The film follows a Chicago-based, women-fronted, punk rock band as they juggle family, careers and survival in America’s cutthroat music industry. Shira animated opening titles for the work-in-progress. She also designed promotional materials for the film, including a postcard, press kit and ticket-style invitations to a fundraiser at The Knitting Factory.
