“It all started with Girlfriends Films…”

            That’s the first sentence from AVN Magazine’s July cover story on “The New Wave of Lesbian Erotica.”  And an unconventional start it was, with Girlfriend’s first movie being a cutting-edge, real-life documentary on lesbian sex hatched in a UCLA filmmaking class.  As with that project, we are still committed to bringing exciting new products to the adult movie industry.

Today, after six years of constant evolution as a filmmaker, Girlfriend Films is the most successful and undisputed leader in lesbian erotica.  It’s now been a few years since we came up with the still-popular movie series Girls in White, Road Queen, and the Thornhill Diaries.  Cutting-edge projects this past year have included more complicated and interesting stories such as those in I Like to Kiss and Imperfect Angels.  As always, our shooting locations are varied, with two ranches, small towns, oil-patch country, and even a real cruise ship playing parts in this year’s Road Queen and Lesbian Triangles series.  With over 500 scenes under our belt, we continue to learn from each shoot so that the next ones will be better.

            As the AVN article notes, Girlfriends spawned much of its competition when individuals who got their start at Girlfriends Films broke off to imitate what we were doing.  Today, those companies work at the quality level we were at two to four years ago.  So far, none has come up with their own Road Queen, Thornhill Diaries or Imperfect Angels.  Rather, they have merely reshuffled the cards and are commonly noted to have “the GF look.”  It is axiomatic that one cannot lead or innovate when one imitates.

            Our July release of Mommy’s Boi adds yet another page to GF’s book on innovation.  Based on suggestions and guidance from one of our lesbian Forum members, this is the first movie to explore the kinky, very fetishy, little-known ritual known as “Forced Masculinization,” in which dominant women force young femmes to become their “bois.”  And there is more planned for the remaining year.  Please check out our monthly on-line newsletter for an update on new projects, such as our movie deal with all-girl rock band Vivicide.

Before closing, I want to thank all of you who have supported us.  We NEVER forget who pays the bills. 

Sincerely,
Dan O’Connell, President
