Desi's Looking For A New Girl

Handsome Desi del Valle stars in this touching, realistic comedy set amidst the familiar sights and sounds of San Francisco's Latino and Queer cultures. J.T., a young Latina dyke, has three passions: her skateboard, comedienne Marga Gomez, and her friend Desi (not necessarily in that order). When Desi's girlfriend dumps her for a younger woman, she journeys down breakup road with the requisite mourning and attempts at dating and recovery. Desi's family and friends help and interfere every step of the way, setting her up on an array of blind disasters...dates...with the "perfect new girl." This charming first feature from Mary Guzmán is an enjoyable and upbeat look at relationships, from friendly to familial - and everything in between. A fun, intelligent, and sometimes painfully true to life story, we get to tag along the emotional roller coaster of the dating world. As a brilliant diva once warned - hold on tight, it's gonna be a bumpy ride.
