Writer/director Marina Rice Bader about her
new film ANATOMY OF A LOVE SEEN, premiering on July 18th at Outfest in
Los Angeles with Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of OUTTAKE VOICES™. Marina who served as executive producer of the iconic
lesbian films ELENA UNDONE and A PERFECT ENDING makes her directorial
debut in ANATOMY OF A LOVE SEEN. The film stars Hollywood newcomers
Sharon Hinnendael, Jill Evyn and Constance Brenneman. This very
intriguing film explores love in all its painful and messy glory. Six
months ago Zoe and Mal fell for each other while filming a love scene,
which led to an intense, whirlwind affair, followed by a devastating
breakup. Things get complicated when the two have to meet once again on
set to re-shoot that fateful sequence. Marina also appears in the film
portraying the director. We talked to Marina Rice Bader about ANATOMY OF
A LOVE SEEN and her spin on our LGBT issues.
When asked what her personal commitment is to LGBT civil rights Marina
stated, “I have unwavering commitment to the LGBT community to keep
telling their stories, which are our stories and the stories of women
which show the rest of the world that we’re all walking the same walk.
We love, we have kids, we struggle with relationships, money, our place
in the world and every human being goes through the same thing. I think
that the more that our stories are out there people can watch them and
go hey you
know there’s a little less fear. I mean we’ve had pastors, straight men
send us messages that say ‘You know it wasn’t until I watched your film
(we had a lot of that with ELENA UNDONE) that I really understood and it
took a little of the confusion away, my eyes are open.’ And what more
can you ask for?”
As the driving force behind Soul Kiss Films, her independent film
company, Bader’s artistic direction is focused on one goal: to create
evocative, entertaining, and compelling movies by women, for women and
about women. Later this year she’s releasing RAVEN’S TOUCH starring
Dreya Weber and Traci Dinwiddie with a new film set to shoot in
December. After the July 18th premiere of ANATOMY OF A LOVE SEEN at
Outfest it will immediately be released worldwide as a streaming rental,
breaking outside and bypassing the traditional Hollywood distribution
channels. The trailer has already gone viral with over 715,000 views.
The film will be available for $5 on Vimeo via the film’s website anatomyofaloveseen.com.
In addition, subtitled versions for a number of foreign languages will
also be made available including Spanish, Portuguese, French and
German.
