Encounters with male impersonator Ramona, charming bohemian Dominique, and purveyor of lesbian erotica, Susie Sexpert, result in liberating adventures in sexual self-discovery. When Dorothee surfaces a little dazzled on the wilder shores of the city’s lesbian community, she has discovered her sexuality…and left her illusions of romance behind.

Fingers features a British Sign Language (BSL) poetry performance by Alison Smith about love, longing, and the sexiness of touch. 1987, Summer is about a a baby dyke who has landed in a gay resort town during the AIDS crisis.

1987, Summer
Although I wish we could all go watch my movie in Scotland, you might have to watch it at the link above. It is a real honor to be part of such a prestigious film event. Maybe one day I'll fly around the world to see my butch/femme movies everywhere!

That was really good! I laughed so hard at the girlfriend part. It reminded me of myself just a tiny bit....
 Congratulations! |

I'm glad you laughed. When I make these little movies I'm trying to find bits of common experience. Another thing that motivates me to tell stories about what it was like for me is because I don't see the lives of my friends and me on screen. In the 80s almost everyone seemed to have a crappy hourly-wage job, went to the bar every night, played in leagues for fun and dates, and got all their news at the club. But if researchers from outer space looked at movies about butches.... I'm not sure they'd know they exist. There's Queen Latifah in "Set It Off." Another film in the SQIFF Queer Women In Love series, "Stud Life." What are others?!

Hurricane Ophelia - Scotland
I hope everyone in Scotland staysafe in the hurricane which BBC online says will arrive at 02:00 Tuesday. Please be careful. Please hurry and get food, etc. very soon. The winds are predicted to be 130km/h.
