Tribeca Film Festival: Director Lara Jean Gallagher Talks New Film ‘Clementine’

The Knockturnal: Congratulations of the premiere of ‘Clementine’! You not only directed the film, but also wrote it. Can you take me through that process?

Lara Jean:

The Knockturnal: What’re you hoping that audiences take away most from the film?

Lara Jean:

The Knockturnal: A lot of films that center around LGBTQ+ characters make the story of coming out, or place their sexuality as the heart of the film. That’s not the case with Clementine. What are you hoping for the future of narrative films that have an LGBTQ+ main character?

Lara Jean:

The Knockturnal: The characters find themselves at a crossroads for making big life decisions. How have you found that in your own life?

Lara Jean:

The Knockturnal: There is that generational divide, or at least different way of thinking, between the different characters. How do you think or hope that it is going to land with different audience members?

Lara Jean:

The Knockturnal: What advice do you have for people that are just now having to brace themselves to make those similar decisions or face similar struggles?

Lara Jean:
