What an exquisite roller-coaster we’ve been on the past few months! Just two years ago I called action and we started the production of “A Perfect Ending” starring the sublimely beautiful Barbara Niven and the uber-stunning Jessica Clark. These actresses literally melded into their roles! I cannot think of any other actresses on the planet...
Brought together by an idea for a documentary by Marina Rice Bader, and shot by Andrea Meyerson and her crew, a fabulous group of women gathered in Mid-July at the lovely home Marina shares with partner Nicole Conn.

Every once in a while there is a special love story captured on film that really speaks to my heart. But, as a lesbian, 99% of the time I have to use my imagination to enjoy love scenes (with opposite sex lead actors) and find them sexy. Simply put, there are not enough lesbian love...

Wow! I’ve had such a “life-altering” experience on the set of A Perfect Ending. It’s like every incredible cast and crew member had been hand-picked by fate to converge at this moment in time; where 40 some odd people heard “Action” – and magic ensued for the next 3 weeks solid. These exceptional artists put...
It was a sunny warm March day when I walked on to the set of Nicole Conn’s new movie A Perfect Ending. You know Nicole—she is responsible for Claire of the Moon and more recently Elena Undone—the story about falling in love with her partner Marina Bader, who is the executive producer on both new...
Hang on, it’s going to be a wild ride!
