BLooMiNGtoN (2010)
A young woman finds first love with a more mature partner in this lesbian-themed independent drama. Jackie Kirk (Sara Stouffer) spent most of her teenage years in the limelight; she was a member of the cast of Neptune 26, a popular sci-fi
television series that enjoyed a six year run. But now that the show
has been cancelled, eighteen-year-old Jackie simply wants to be
inconspicuous, just another freshman psychology student at a university
in Indiana. Thanks to Neptune 26's success, that's no simple
task, and her celebrity alienates more of her fellow students than it
attracts. Jackie is attending a mixer for psychology students and
faculty when he meets Catherine Stark (Allison McAtee), an attractive
and confident professor. Catherine makes no secret that she's attracted
to Jackie, and Jackie eagerly responds in kind. Soon the two are having
an affair, but their relationship does not go unnoticed by campus
gossips. Word about their romance spreads following the announcement
that a Neptune 26 feature film is going into production, making
Jackie even more recognizable, and the couple find themselves subjected
to the often harsh judgment of others. Bloomington was an official
selection at the 2010 San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival.
