Please join us for an advance screening of Dear Lemon Lima, by director Suzi Yoonessi.

The night will include a Q&A with the director and cast, cupcakes by Big Sugar Bakeshop, ice cream, a photobooth, afterparty and cocktails by Belvedere Macerated.

Dear Lemon Lima,
Dear Lemon Lima, is a family comedy feature film written and directed by Suzi Yoonessi. Based on her short film of the same name and developed with the support of Film Independent and its Filmmaker Labs, this film is about a 13-year-old half-Yup’ik girl navigating her way through first heartbreak and the perils of prep school in Fairbanks, Alaska. In learning the meanings of love, friendship, and community, Vanessa Lemor finds her voice by embracing her heritage and reclaiming the spirit of the World Eskimo Indian Olympics (WEIO) at a private school where her narcissistic sweetheart’s family is legacy. Dear Lemon Lima, won Outstanding Performance in Narrative Competition at the 2009 Los Angeles Film Festival.
