Filming of the sixth and final season of HBO’s Girls concluded yesterday in Mantauk, New York.
Since the show was released in April 2012, it has received critical acclaim for it’s originality, raw humour and realistic portrayal of women.
Creator and writer Lena Dunham, 30, posted on Instagram yesterday, “It’s 2am on Friday morning and we just finished shooting Girls. Forever…I know I’m not alone in the Girls family when I say this is the end of the largest and most potent chapter of my life so far.
“Before Girls I had zero identity, zero self-love and an urgent sense of untapped creative desire that kept me up and sweating at night in other people’s beds, wondering why vague sexual affirmation wasn’t enough to make me feel human. I had hardly an inkling of the responsibility we take on when we tell stories, or of the power words can have, but what I had – as an obsessed fan of shows from Girlfriends to Felicity to Ally McBeal– was the audacity to think that people might want to see women like my friends and me (broken, imperfect, angry) on television.”
