Product Description
-------------------
In this time-bending, sexy, lesbian romp - with an irreverent
nod to the popular art-house classic "Run, Lola, Run"- a
talented, but distracted photographer, Lola, (Ashleigh Sumner) on
the verge of success in both love and work, could lose it all if
she doesn't make it to a crucial meeting on time. But, as usual,
Lola is late. With her job and girlfriend Casey (Jill Bennett) on
the line, she has three chances to make it right. In a desperate
race through the streets and backrooms of San Francisco, time
grows short - will Lola make it? with a pop sensibility that
mixes live action, animation and still photography And Then Came
Lola explores love's age old question in a fresh new way; "If we
try, try again, will we finally get it right?"
