The Midwife's Tale

Megan Siler

Stacey Havener, Gayle Cohen

A young girl, the daughter of a lesbian couple, lies peacefully abed listening to one of her mothers reading her a bedtime story. The off-beat tale she hears is set in medieval times and chronicles the exploits of poor Lady Eleanor, an independent, free-spirited young aristocrat who would much rather spend her time riding and being outdoors than staying cloistered inside tending to needlework. Still she is a dutiful daughter and reluctantly abides by her late father's wish that she marry Lord William. William knows that he is not her dream lover, but he is patient and eventually she gets pregnant. Eleanor is terrified, for her mother lost her life and the life of her baby giving birth. Not wanting to suffer the same fate, she sneakily tries to engage the local midwife to come and abort the fetus. Unfortunately, the midwife has been accused of sorcery by the local priests and has been sentenced to die. Fortunately, young Gwenyth, a new midwife shows up.

And Then Came Lola

Ashleigh Sumner, Jill Bennett

A talented, but distracted photographer, Lola, on the verge of success in both love and work, could lose it all if she doesn't make it to a crucial meeting on time. But, as usual, Lola is late. With her job and girlfriend on the line, she has three chances to make it right. In a desperate race through the streets and back rooms of San Francisco, time grows short-will Lola make it? Will she come at all? With a pop sensibility that mixes live action, animation and still photography, And Then Came Lola explores love's age old question in a fresh new way, "If you try, try again, will you finally get it right?" (Written by M. Siler and E. Seidler)

First Base

Megan Siler

First Base explores the moment at which sex is still only a titillating possibility and girls are still allowed to be attracted to other girls. It does so in a style teenagers can relate to. Their busts augmented by water balloons, Siler's nymphet heroines head out through their mushrooming slice of suburbia to try their luck with a couple of conveniently available teenage boys. The results satisfy their childish curiosity, but perhaps there is something more promising waiting for them when one sleeps over later....Tasteful and up-beat, First Base is appropriate viewing for all ages.
