Event
Finn's Girl @ LI Gay & Lesbian Film Festival
Includes Post-screening Gala sponsored by Way Out Media, The Thatched Cottage, Stirrings, and V2 Vodka.
Walk the Lavender Carpet! The Lavender Carpet hosted by Priscilla Pride. Special performance by Madison Mansfield and Gina Marie. Music by DJ Ron Soper. A smart and sexy look into the lives of Dr. Finn Jeffries and her 11-year old daughter, Zelly. Finn is a woman still holding on to a lost love, Zelly's biological mother, Nancy who passed away. Since then, Finn has taken the torch - raising Zelly on her own and devoting her time in the abortion clinic that Nancy founded. Though the clinic is threatened daily as is Finn's life, Finn refuses to quit. Likewise, Zelly does not make Finn's life easy, by basically being a teenager and defiant at every turn. These two do find common ground in their developing attachment to Diana, a police officer who has been assigned to protect Finn and Zelly. Diana ultimately becomes their security and a confidant for each. Can these two cope with the past while mending their relationship for the future and will Finn's secret change everything? Winner Outstanding Emerging Talent Award at L.A. Outfest. (Dominique Cardona & Laurie Colbert, Canada, 2007, 88 min)
