Product Description:
Alluvial Filmworks present Girls' View, a collection of five lesbian-themed short films.
Open Studio
Rose gave up on her artistic career 30 years ago when she became pregnant. Now, after a life devoted to making sure her lesbian daughter found the success she wanted for herself, her daughter announces she's pregnant. The announcement unearths a rage in Rose and awakens her from her compromised life. It also ignites Rose's journey to reclaim her artistic voice and find her forgotten soul.
Unspoken
Unspoken is a compelling coming of age story: a tale of desire, lust and betrayal. Two sixteen-year-old girls share a friendship and affection that sparks jealousy and turns heads. But when boys enter into the picture, the dynamics shift. The illusions shatter as sex, drugs and infidelity run rampant in a junkyard.
Open
Modern ideas of monogamy are examined through reversed, intersecting timelines in this hilarious and sexy film. A well-intentioned agreement into an open relationship leads a seemingly happy, committed, twenty-something urban couple into a complex love triangle. Betrayal, bingo and sex toys perfect together!
Different
Joanne and Justin have a secret: They're straight. In the parallel universe of Liberty High School, gay and lesbian is the norm and homecoming is only days away. Starring Emily Stiles (Eating Out, Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds) and Ben Hogestyn (The Bold and the Beautiful, First openly gay character on General Hospital).
Sugared Peas
The whirlwind emotions of youthful love and coming out are explored in this evocatively filmed short. Two unrequited lovers from a convent school have a fateful meeting many years later. This heartbreaking, touchingly bittersweet film examines the fears and frustrations of attempting to establish a first same-sex relationship.

Rating:  - There's nothing funny about bad film making
Wow. I heard some positvie things about this collection of short films, but was shocked to find it to be scattered and poorly made. Sparing the first and last films, the collection was actually hard to watch. I have no idea how it won any awards.
"Open" is actually possibly the worst short film I have ever witnessed. And I have seen short films made on a zero budget by friends. The dialogue was trite and the acting horrible. There was a lot of "humorous" moments the fell short of even being tolerable. Like a lesbian pretending to hit on a chair? That is...what? funny? Or two girls doing exaggerated impressions of female porn stars that just go on and on. Is that supposed to be racy? Just the worst piece of film I have ever sat through. If only it had been longer than ten minutes I would have turned it off.
"Sugared Peas" makes me shudder to even think about. So obvious and contrived, it makes me wonder how anybody ever considered actually putting it out for release on this collection.
"Open Studio" is about a lady trying to reclaim her long lost artistic ability. It has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with lesbians. (I think her daughter might be a lesbian.) Also, the film is very poorly written and the overly dramatic acting just made it obvious that this was an amatuer work.
The first film, "Unspoken", is actually really well shot and professional. Decent acting and dialogue also contributes to it being a well made film. Only problem is that it has a beginning and a middle ... Read More

"Girls View: A Collection of Award-Winning Lesbian Shorts"
Five Different Views
Amos Lassen and Cinema Pride
Brand new from Village Lighthouse and Alluvial Filmworks is a collection of amazing lesbian short films, "Girls' View". There is absolutely something for everyone here. The themes range from coming-of-age, open relationships, love, family and sexuality. It's a well balanced collection of absolutely amazing films and taken together, the collection is a real treat. Three comedies and two wonderful dramas make up the DVD and this is one that you will not want to miss.
The DVD's first film, "Open" takes a good hard look at lesbian stereotypes and tears them down. It also deals with the issue of open relationships and whether or not they can really work. The comedy also looks at sex toys, bingo and betrayal. The script is literate and the acting s top notch. The characters are funny and real and they prove that old adage that hindsight is 20/20 as it carefully studies, backwards, the dynamics of an open relationship. Two women in their twenties, Sam and Gabby, live in the gay underground of New York City. At the beginning of the film Sam and Gabby have broken up and we learn that the reason for this is that there was a third woman. What we do not know is if it was the third women that ultimately caused the relationship to peter out or if there were destructive forces that had already been at work. As we venture backwards into the relationship we see shades ... Read More
