Below Her Mouth
Directed by April Mullen & Starring Erika Linder and Natalie Krill
BELOW HER MOUTH tells the story of an unpredicted love affair; a love affair that quickly escalates into a heart-stopping reality for two women. Their intense love connection will forever change their lives.
Currently, I find myself sexually curious towards women. I'm going through a bi-curious phase if you will. Women are beautiful and safe for me. I’ve always felt more comfortable around women over men; I find it far less difficult to be my authentic self.
After watching BELOW HER MOUTH for the first time, my interest in women jumped from private thoughts to me verbally saying I want to experience being with a woman! Saying those words outload felt empowering. I have no shame in expressing the way I feel and frankly neither should YOU.
BELOW HER MOUTH follows a similar storyline to that of Marina and Jenny in the L WORD, Season 1. Jasmine (Natalie Krill), a local fashion editor is set to be married to a man, Rile. One night out, she meets Dallas (Erika Linder) at a bar and their attraction cannot be denied. Erika is a roofer and owns her own company. She’s been hired to do a job near Jasmine’s. After much persistence, Jasmine accepts Erika’s drink invitation and well… one thing leads to another… steamy sex scene after another and next thing we know, I am a self-proclaimed lesbian!
As a film, BELOW HER MOUTH is far from a perfect, however, it left me yearning for more passion in my life. It also made me sad and excited for the future. Sad because I’ve never experienced such connectedness with another human, man or woman in my life. Excited to think that there’s hope for some intimacy and maybe it will be with a lady. Who knows.
Dating for me has always been difficult and still remains that way. I naively thought things would be more seamless if I decided to explore this avenue of being with woman. I thought I would feel more confident since I’m more able to be myself around the ladies. My curiosity is still very much intact, but sealing the deal seems to be my biggest obstacle.
In BELOW HER MOUTH, Jasmine finds such an intense connection with Dallas that it causes her to be unfaithful to her fiancé. Although it’s unfair to Rile, that kind of passion, at times, cannot be tamed. Is it bad to say that I am drawn to that? Is it sick to say that’s the kind of passion I want. It’s not my intention to hurt someone or disrupt life’s coarse and of course I always vow for honesty, but I don’t think I could be in any relationship, man or woman, without that kind of passion. Nor could I walk away from it.
Maybe things will feel differently the day I am in a committed and loving relationship.
