Lola Segal, a neurotic metro-sexual lesbian, adores beautiful women.  At six, she fell for Ms. Summer, the most beautiful kindergarten teacher ever.  But Ms. Summer was swept away by the butch gym teacher, breaking Lola’s little heart. Right then and there, she vowed to never give her heart to a beautiful femme.

But she was no match for Hannah Henri
NewFest, the New York LGBT Film Festival is pleased to present the staged reading of one of two winners of this year’s NewDraft Screenplay Competition and Reading Series; Hannah Henri, a neurotic romantic comedy by Akiva Penaloza.

NewDraft is NewFest’s Screenplay Competition & Reading Series, dedicated to discovering and fostering LGBT feature screenwriters and/or LGBT feature screenplays. Day Dream was one of the two winners of the inaugural competition at the 2008 festival. Before NewDraft was formalized as a new program, NewFest presented screenplay readings of Another Gay Movie, Were the World Mine, and Another Gay Sequel, all of which went on to be made into films!
