Fast Girl Films is the Berkeley, California based production company that produced “And Then Came Lola,” the hit lesbian romantic comedy, starring Ashleigh Sumner and Jill Bennett that screened in more than 100 LGBT film festivals worldwide in 2009-2010.

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 mad dash through the streets and backrooms of San Francisco, time grows short–will Lola make it? Will she come at all?

Co-Directed by Ellen Seidler and Megan Siler, And Then Came Lola features “out” lesbians in front of, and behind the camera. LOLA’s out actresses include Ashleigh Sumner, Jill Bennett, Cathy DeBuono, Jessica Graham and Jenoa Harlow. SF animator Jett Atwood, photographer Mollie McClure, and a number of ”out” musicians also lend their creative talents to the film including Saucy Monky, Sick of Sarah, Jen Corday and Lori Michaels.

This independent feature, shot on location in San Francisco, had its world premiere on June 19th, 2009 at a sold-out Castro Theater as part of the San Francisco Frameline LGBT Film Festival. LOLA is making history as the first indie lesbian film to be offered on Blu-ray.
