brave and frozen

A pioneering filmmaker for her 1993 lesbian themed film Claire of the Moon Nicole Conn still really just wants to tell a great love story. And at this point in her career she has succeeded in doing just that -- certainly with her most recent feature Elena Undone, a story of forbidden love for modern times, and perhaps most magnanimously with her acclaimed 2005 documentary Little Man, about the birth of her micro preemie son Nicholas, who she had with her former partner. SheWired chatted with Conn about finding true love, casting those two gorgeous leads, if she’s in the Guinness Book of World Records yet for Elena’s record-breaking kiss, the challenges of producing a film since she made Claire of the moon 20 years ago and why it’s imperative that lesbians get out to the movies to support the films they want to see.
