CLEMENTINE is a feature film that simply and cinematically explores the cyclical nature of relationships and a rarely seen Lolita-like dynamic between two women. Equal parts psychological drama and sexual coming-of-age story, Clementine is a tense rumination on who to love and how to let go.

story
Unable to let go of her failing relationship with an older and more successful woman, KAREN, 29, stows away to her estranged lover’s lake house in a remote and beautiful forest in the Pacific Northwest. Here she meets LANA, a young girl in short shorts hell-bent on moving to California and cultivating an identity that lives up to her expectations of the world outside of her shitty little town. Lana’s yarns captivate Karen as she tries to figure out who she is and who she’ll become outside of an all-consuming, destructive relationship.
The narrative follows the development of Lana and Karen’s complex attachment. As Karen grapples with her past and expectations for the future, her relationship with Lana oscillates between that of friends, mother/daughter, sisters, lovers, beholder and beheld.
“Those who allow themselves to be hurt in the name of love must understand better than anyone the desire to hurt.” -Yiyun Li
director’s statement
My work centers on naturalistic visuals and the kind of relationships that emerge when everything else is screwed up. I’m commited to creating strong, willful, and complicated female characters and striving to craft deceptively simple stories that have not yet been seen.
I want to tell a subjective and emotionally complex story about a woman (KAREN) who is devastated, but not yet able to let go of an all-consuming and destructive relationship with an older, much more successful woman (D.). I want to do this completely in the present and almost entirely through a new relationship with a mysterious, young girl (LANA). Although the source of Karen’s hurt is primarily in the past and offscreen, I’m interested in constructing a narrative weighed down by this almost haunting past that the audience (like a new lover) can only catch glimpses of through the choices and actions of the present. I want to use the heaviness of this past to explore the cyclical nature of relationships alongside the multi-faceted nature of specifically female relationships. I’m interested in showing how female sexuality and foreplay can be expressed by intimate storytelling, listening, and being seen...before ever being touched. In a departure from other Lolita-like dynamics between male and female characters, I want to emphasize ambition, the need for validation, and sense of talent and worth with the same level of seduction associated with purely sexual interest.
Clementine is an emotionally charged story that I believe will be at its most truthful and powerful in its silences and sustained shots. For Karen, this story begins and ends in a moment when she doesn’t know what to do with her past or how to move into the future. I want her growth and change through the course of the film to mirror a forest -- it’s fully alive and buzzing, but appears almost completely still. Karen is going to be different, she’s going to be changed, but she’ll only be able to tell much, much later.

project status
Clementine is writer/director Lara Jean Gallagher’s first feature film. She was named one of IFP’s 2015 Emerging Storytellers and Clementine was the only US project to be selected for the 2016/2017 edition of the Venice Biennale College Cinema Program.
Principle photography will take place in Florence and Portland, Oregon and is scheduled for mid September, 2017.
where your money goes
Our goal is to raise $40,000 through a dedicated audience on Seed&Spark. This is the minimum amount we need to get this movie in the can. Yes, this is a microbudget movie, but one that was conceived to be told simply, efficiently, and powerfully. Our producers have years of experience working with budgets of various shapes and sizes. Therefore, we know some awesome tricks on how to get the most out of our money while never sacrificing production value. Simply put, we're dedicated to making sure what goes on screen is always there to serve the story and the performances, first and foremost.
We're very excited to be partnering with the Oregon State Film Office to take advantage of a tax incentive program specifically for Oregon-based filmmakers. This rebate will enable us to carry this film directly into post-production this fall!
stretch goals
In the event that we reach our $40k goal early on during our campaign (fingers crossed! lets DO this!!) we have stretch goals that will allow us to pay for more prep time, more shooting days, and beef up our talented cast and crew's payments. Here's a look at those numbers:
we're supported by:
Venice Biennale College Cinema, Film Independent, IFP, Film Fatales and the Sundance Institute.
+you! :)
