making maya
This is a low-budget indie about a typical coming-of-age lesbian movie. Focusing not on Maya’s sexuality, but mainly discovering herself — what’s her passion in life, what she wanna do for college, how to take care of her mother’s addiction, and her feelings for a girl and/or maybe a boy next door (I am trying to keep it vague so i don’t spoil it for you).

With the help of Mars, she decides to enter with him a free-throw contest that could lead to the basketball career of her dreams. But Maya’s life takes a turn with the arrival of Sam (Sara Taylor), a sexy young woman who sparks unexpected desires of romance and sexuality in Maya. As she spends more time with Sam, her practicing sessions with Mars start to slack ultimately jepordizing the basketball contest and her life dreams. (more…)

waste of time
The title of my review says it all. This movie sucked! I guess the reason there aren’t any reviews for this movie is becuase everyone was smart enough not to watch it.
