Maria Maggenti's 1995 film about teenage love is a romantic comedy of a different kind. Written in eight days and shot in 21, The Incredibly True Adventures of 2 Girls in Love is a standard lesbian rite-of-passage movie that is a favorite among many gay women, especially those who came of age in the mid-'90s.
So whatever happened to the women of The Incredibly True Adventures of 2 Girls in Love?

Gavin Wiesen‘s The Art of Getting By is an independent film for those that consider Olive Garden to be authentic Italian food. It’s palatable enough but you know there’s far better places you could have eaten. At the cinema, I’d be glad to recommend whatever auditorium is showing Midnight in Paris as an alternative.
Freddie Highmore stars as George, a high school senior rebelling against something – or going through something; I’m not sure which. He falls for – but lacks the confidence – to close the deal with Sally (Emma Roberts). I’m not sure George is an “artist” because he refuses to settle on one path (which I admire) but he’s aimless and comes close to failing out of high school. We don’t see much of his life before meeting Sally, so his mental state pre meeting her isn’t as established as it might have been.

NEW YORK -- Six Sundance Film Festival alumni directors have been commissioned by the Sundance Institute and mobile phone operator trade group GSM Assn. to create five short films designed for mobile phones, Institute president and founder Robert Redford said Wednesday.
Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (Little Miss Sunshine), Justin Lin (Better Luck Tomorrow), Maria Maggenti (Puccini for Beginners), Cory McAbee (The American Astronaut) and Jody Hill (The Foot Fist Way) have been tapped to create three- to five-minute low-budget original shorts as part of the Sundance Film Festival Global Short Film Project. The films will premiere in February at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona.
"These will be big stories for the small screen," said John Cooper, Sundance Film Festival director of programming and Sundance Institute creative director.
The films are expected to be circulated by World Congress attendees, though later they will be available for download on the Sundance and GSMA Web sites.
"There's going to be a lot of viral sharing," said Bill Gajda, chief marketing officer of the GSMA. "Once you've got these on your phone, you're going to be able to share these. We want to see where they go, how widely they are distributed and what is the appetite for this kind of short entertainment."...
