The goal of Pistols Kill Ponies is to conceive and produce independent film and video projects. We like to make ourselves sound like a collective, but in truth we only consist of Lena Dunham and whoever is kind enough to work with her.

Lena Dunham was born in New York City in 1986. She's still there, although she left briefly to attend Oberlin College (she graduated in 2008 with a degree in creative writing.)

While in high school, she wrote a comic strip strip for Seventeen Magazine and was a contributor at Teen Vogue. She also went to standup comedy school, worked at a video store for nearly one month, and groomed dogs -- although never the same dog twice. Now, she writes and directs movies. Sometimes she acts in other people's movies, and sometimes she writes different kinds of articles.

If (for some reason) you are curious to know more, she has been interviewed a few times (by Interview Magazine, Scarlett Cinema, Spout and The Rumpus).
