'Tis the Lesbian Season

While the title of Best Lesbian Movie of 2019 may have already been claimed by a 2-minute, dialogue-less French car commercial, there is plenty of room for more queer women in film this season. And, speaking of this season, Tello Films has giftwrapped your present just in time for Old St. Nikki’s annual visit (see what I did there?)

“Season of Love” is like a the Lesbian Hallmark Christmas Movie you’ve been dreaming about sprung to real life. Featuring a cast of some very familiar faces (Earpers, assemble - but more on that later), the movie is a pleasant dollop of romantic holiday cheer. And, better yet, it’s not just about one queer female couple finding love under the mistletoe. It’s three queer women’s love stories for the price of one. You’d be hard pressed to find a better deal than that on Black Friday.

The film stars Waverly Earp herself, Dominique Provost-Chalkley, as well as “True Blood” alum and out model/actress Jessica Clark. Dominique, it should be noted, is using her natural British accent in the movie, and showcases her singing and guitar playing. In other words, hold onto your butts, Earpers.

Astute viewers will do doubt notice key references to “Carol” and “Flashdance” - my two favorite parts of the film. And then, of course, there are the smoochies. Who doesn’t love some romantic holiday smoochies?

“Season of Love” has a premiere screening with cast & crew in L.A. Thursday. You can also catch screenings in London (Nov. 24 & 28), Nashville (Nov. 26), New York (Dec. 2), Toronto (Dec. 9), and Seattle (Dec. 9). Or, you can purchase the movie from the Tello site.

Look, I didn’t know this week would be all about lesbian holiday movies either. Guess all us gay ladies landed on the Nice List this year to deserve this.
