“Heartland” tells the story of Lauren, an artist living in suburban Oklahoma, who has moved back home with her mom, Crystal, following the sudden death of her girlfriend. The relentlessly chipper Crystal assumes her daughter is headed back to the straight and narrow, but Lauren is only paying lip service to her mother’s plans to stave off the pain of the recent tragedy.

When Lauren’s brother Justin comes home with his uptight girlfriend Carrie to help launch a local winery, he enlists Lauren and Carrie to help with the marketing concept. Although the two women are quite different, an attraction between them builds as Lauren rediscovers her sense of fun, and Carrie questions her traditional future. Eventually, the two begin a passionate affair that creates havoc when the secret comes out.

[This film was started in Jeffrey Tambor’s workship and was supported by Tambor, Sarah Paulson, and Julia Stiles.]

Up and comer Erin Kelly stars as Annabelle, a precocious senator’s daughter who falls in love with her teacher Simone (gorgeous Diane Gaidry) at a conservative Catholic girls boarding school. Inspired by the classic lesbian drama “Maedchen in Uniform,” lesbian writer-director Katherine Brooks deftly navigates this passionate tale of forbidden love.

Saint Theresa’s popular young poetry teacher Simone Bradley finds peace and security inside the boarding school walls. In a lush atmosphere with little conflict, Simone has settled into a life of comfort and purpose educating her young female students. The charismatic and enchanting new student Annabelle quickly draws attention for her rebellious behavior. Fearing Annabelle will influence the other students, rigid Headmistress (Ilene Graff) instructs Simone to pay special attention to Annabelle to get her under control. Quickly, Simone learns that the real challenge is not Annabelle’s behavior, but their budding attraction. As Annabelle pursues her teacher, she unleashes the passion locked deep inside Simone, who must decide whether or not to enter an affair that could cost her everything.

Lose yourself in the award-winning, gorgeous lesbian romance of American poet Elizabeth Bishop and Brazilian architect Lota de Macedo Soares.

“One of the biggest lesbian films of the year.” — Queerty.com’s “Movies You Shouldn’t Miss”

This sumptuous English-language 1950s period piece recounts the mid-life years of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Elizabeth Bishop (played by Miranda Otto of “Lord of the Rings”) when she left America to live and write in Rio de Janiero. It was there that she fell in love with well-off architect Lota de Macedo Soares (butched to the hilt by beautifully handsome Brazilian TV star Gloria Pires).

Initial hostilities between the pair make way for a complicated yet long-lasting love affair that dramatically alters Bishop’s relationship to the world around her.

From renowned Brazilian director Bruno Barreto (“Dona Flor” and “Her Two Husbands”), “Reaching for the Moon” is an intimate snapshot of the search for inspiration, wherever and however you find it.

“Imagines Elizabeth Bishop’s extraordinary relationship with the Brazilian architect Lota de Macedo Soares … a battle of creative and romantic egos.” — New York Times

“The film benefits from a pair of nicely nuanced performances and the simmering intensity it unearths in detailing the lives of these two women.” – TimeOut NY

“An exotic love story becomes an empowering portrait of two highly gifted women who defy social convention.” – Film Journal International

“Gorgeous. Take any opportunity you can to see this film.” — Girls On Film

This wonderful lesbian drama tells the tale of an undocumented Mexican nanny, Margarita (Nicola Correia Damude, Havanna 57) whose girlfriend Jane (Christine Horne, Tru Love) is reluctant to commit and whose yuppie employers — a nice Toronto family, including a bi-curious Mom — are about to let her go.

Margarita is a charming film co-starring a gorgeous pair of actresses (with terrific on-screen chemistry) and is the latest feature from lesbian co-directors Laurie Colbert and Dominique Cardona who brought us the fabulous 2007 drama Finn’s Girl. The terrific cast also includes Canadian television star Patrick McKenna, Claire Lautier (Elf, Law and Order) and Finn’s Girl star Maya Ritter.

“Heartwarming, thought provoking … sexy!” — Curve Magazine

“Cast is universally appealing, especially Nicola Correia Damude’s Margarita” — Examiner.com

“Charming… a sweet, lighthearted lesbian film.” — Queeries.com

“A crowd-pleasing gem.” — SoSoGay

The acclaimed Latina lesbian teen romance!

“Incredible… crafted to perfection.” — AfterEllen.com

This exquisite coming of age tale follows a pair of Latina teens who fall gradually in love against the backdrop of Southeast Los Angeles.

When straight A student Yolanda — aka Mosquita (Fenessa Pineda) decides to help struggling tough girl Mari (Venecia Troncoso) with her homework an intense attraction evolves between the two. As their friendship grows, a yearning to explore their strange yet beautiful connection surfaces.

Lost in their private world of unspoken affection, lingering gazes, and heart-felt confessions of uncertain futures, Yolanda’s grades begin to slip while Mari’s focus drifts away from her duties at a new job. Mounting pressures at home collide with their new-found desires — driving Yolanda and Mari’s relationship to the edge, and forcing them to choose between their obligations to others and staying true to each other.

Mosquita & Mari is a tender and authentic story about young love.

This year’s guiltiest pleasure for lesbian movie lovers everywhere!

Blue-eyed blonde bad girl Rachel (gorgeous new lesbian heart-throb Ruth Reynolds) is mature for her 18 years. An aspiring songwriter, she’s given up on her music after the recent death of her mother and her neglectful father isn’t around very much.

The arrival of Dad’s new employee Amy (the lovely Madeline Merritt), staying in their swanky Los Angeles guest house for the weekend, brings Rachel the inspiration she needs. A wholesome college graduate fresh to California from the cornfields of Iowa, Amy happily confesses her dreams and desires to Rachel over the course of the weekend as the two women fall in love.

“It seems like anything’s possible here.” Amy proclaims as they ramble across the city in Rachel’s Dad’s Hummer. Out and about in Los Angeles the two girls can’t keep their hands off each other. At home in the guest house, their activities are even hotter.
