Cue Card Girl is a short documentary that delves into the fascinating world of Saturday Night Live during the 1980s. We capture the unique experiences of Eileen O’Brien, the sole female cue card girl at the time, offering an entertaining behind-the-scenes glimpse into a rarely-seen aspect of television production. Through Eileen’s story, we celebrate her trailblazing spirit and highlight the importance of diversity and inclusion within the entertainment industry.
With Cue Card Girl, we aim to engage, inspire, and entertain audiences by presenting a fresh perspective on a beloved institution while honoring Eileen, an unsung hero who contributed to its success. We are thrilled to share this project and hope you enjoy this captivating, humorous, and enlightening journey.
Aiden Nelson and Violet Dempsy (AV) are student filmmakers who love collaborating together. Violet brings her director and cinematography skills, while Aiden contributes his post productions talents, forming a unique and creative team.
