GIRLFIGHT : THE OFFICIAL MOVIE MAGAZINE
But things really changed with Moonlight ’ s entry into GIRLFIGHT .
“ Each actress was responsible for interpreting the assignments how they saw fit and wanted to be portrayed , especially when the weather was bad during Jade and Rachel ’ s fight scenes . None of their attire was provided so they could choose what to wear . We didn ’ t want the girls to feel uncomfortable . So , when Lindsey brought a pink bra by Victoria Secret I told her no unless we could accessorize it . It accurately fit her character ’ s “ trailer park queen ” backstory but I wasn ’ t sexualizing GIRLFIGHT and never did , even with her famous “ bad girl ” look that would later represent GIRLFIGHT . So , she added a fashionable tube top over it and the rest is history . Both her fights against Jacki and Angel can be found in Part I : Moonlight ’ s Fights in the GIRLFIGHT : Behind the Scenes series .”
Even when viewing the footage , it does appear that Moonlight was made into nothing more than a tease without ever being sexualized , quite the accomplishment in today ’ s world .
“ GIRLFIGHT isn ’ t sexploitation or whatever our bitter rejects want to throw at us . It ’ s simply about girls who want something so bad they ’ re willing to brutally kill each other for it . It ’ s funny how they were all for the project until I told them no pay or some of the girls they kept hitting on continuously rejected them or that a sexualized version would be totally acceptable if I didn ’ t make it and I ’ m over here like , “ Hypocritical much ?””

Visual and Special FX Overlooked
Much of the film didn ' t look that good , although there were some hints it could have looked better than it did .
" I added some grain and scratches and all that plus layers and opacity settings to darken the film . I added some sharpening elements that seemed to be lost in translation when watched over a streaming network ."
