I liked several of the stories. None were bad enough to justify a "two-star" rating, in my opinion. First of all, bear in mind, it's low-budget, and why? Because there aren't a whole heaping load of people watching lesbian-themed short stories, that's why. I watched it to the very end, which is more than can be said for 80% of all movies. There is some good writing at work, too. I guess my favorite skit was "This Boy," the one about an androgynous little tomboy who falls in love with another girl. Here's a breakdown on each story.
"The Piper" - the first is a cheap takeoff on the Pied Piper legend. Cute and sweet, but nothing heavy, and reeks of low budget. Don't let this one prejudice you against the rest.
"The Uninvited" - best piece, dramatically - about an older woman who gets infatuated with a younger and uses desperate ploys to try to woo her. Good writing.
"Sarang Song" - Twisted. Blacks are all heroes, whites are all villains. No exceptions. White people are evil. Go kill whitey. Now.
"This Boy" - best of the lot - the precocious actress really carries this short film. Fun and just way too cute. Very well-written.
"Shugar Shank" - an aspiring young musician falls in love with a fellow bandmate (both female). Can she get past the boyfriend--and the addictions? I liked this one.
"Cosa Bella" - I don't think I ever figured out what this one was all about. Two attractive chicks that fool around decide to get serious about each other. Weak. Dialogue is difficult to hear at times. But when you do hear it, it's not even that good. This is the worst of the lot, and no big mystery as to why it's saved for the end.

Queer Filmmaker (2005's The Joy of Life) and Sundance Entry Blue Diary, film historian (2004's The Queer Movie Poster Book & 1996's The Ulimate Guide to Lesbian & Gay Film & Video) curates this collection of trailers for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer movies which charts the history and marketing of gay and lesbian films. The hysterically funny, occasionally infuriating, and ultimate moving trailers mirror society's attitudes towards queer people over time. What's remarkable is how few of these trailers tell you explicitly what the film is about, relying instead on titillating exploitation or subtle inference to convey the film's essence. Includes trailers for Ed Wood's Glen or Glenda, Dirk Bogarde's Victim, Mart Crowley's The Boys in the Band, the camp classics The Gay Deceivers and Norman, is That You?, and dramas such as The Children's Hour, The Damned and Sunday, Bloody Sunday and The Sergeant. Entertaining and laugh-out-loud funny, if you love gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender filmmaking, you must own Homo Promo (and companion The Queer Movie Poster Book).
