Anyhow! Frustrated with the lack of lesbian movies that depicted groups of friends like theirs, Guin and then-girlfriend Rose Troche wrote and produced Go Fish, a black & white movie with a $15,000 budget which surprisingly made its way to the capital of the indie film marketplace: The Sundance Film Festival. However, to understand her place in the lesbian pop culture landscape we have to go back all the way to the 1994 independent film that kicked off her career and busted open closet doors for lesbians everywhere: Go Fish.īack in the early 90s lesbian movie-ville was still pretty barren and the existing films basically told the same story: girl realizes she’s different/lez, girl kisses girl, girl usually ends up killing herself. Guinevere Turner is probs most widely recognized to teenaged and twentysomething lesbians as Gabby Deveaux, Alice’s perpetually cheating, bitchy ex-girlfriend on The L Word.
