Below Her Mouth

Original characters in a contemporary romance; nothing is swapped from any source.

A male fiancé exists as an obstacle to the central romance but the film is not built on a message that men are the problem.

• Dallas's relationship with her male fiancé is set aside as she falls for Jasmine

The entire film is a central lesbian romance with explicit, prominent same-sex sexuality at its core.

• The whole plot is a passionate affair between two women
• Extensive on-screen lesbian intimacy drives the narrative
• Marketed and framed around its all-female cast and crew lesbian love story

Casting fits a modern drama setting; no lore or historical setting is being overridden.

It depicts a queer relationship without stopping to sermonize or deliver activist lectures.

• Focus stays on the emotional and physical relationship rather than messaging

The male fiancé is a somewhat flat obstacle figure, but the film doesn't frame masculinity as toxic as a thesis.

• The fiancé is largely a narrative impediment to the women's connection

Original screenplay with no source material to betray.
