Director: Rey, Cristina
Year: 1995
Synopsis: With lesbian films being all the rage in Hollywood, it is reassuring to know that independent films like Change the Frame are still managing to get made. Director/producer Cristina Rey's first feature film is a whimsical and realistic portrayal of love, growing up, and life's direction. Rey focuses her camera on the lives of a couple living in a small college town in the Colorado Rockies. Angela (Stephani Shope), is a college graduate working at a hot dog cart who one day realizes she has put her art career on hold while waiting for her girlfriend Rachel (Cristina Rey) to finish graduate school. Rachel, meanwhile, is too busy with school to realize Angela has become frustrated with her life and their relationship. The arrival of a flirtatious singer from San Francisco helps to distract Angela from the reality of her relationship, but she soon realizes that she must reassess her life goals and priorities. Their relationship begins to suffer under the intense pressure Angela is feeling to make changes in her life. It is a pleasure to finally see a feature film that so honestly captures some of the common experiences we have all shared in our relationships. Finally, a film that takes lesbian relationships seriously.
