Finn's Girl

Finn's Girl is a 2007 Canadian drama film, directed by Dominique Cardona and Laurie Colbert.[1] The film stars Brooke Johnson as Finn, a medical doctor mourning the recent death of her wife Nancy (Gail Maurice) while continuing to step-parent Nancy's rebellious daughter Zelly (Maya Ritter) and managing an abortion clinic which is being threatened by the increasingly violent protests of the anti-abortion movement.[2]

The film also stars Richard Clarkin as Zelly's father Paul, and Yanna McIntosh and Gilles Lemaire as Diana and Xavier, the police officers helping Finn to protect the clinic.[1]

The film was Cardona and Colbert's first narrative feature film, after making primarily documentaries and short films.[3]

It premiered on June 4, 2007 at the New York Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, & Transgender Film Festival. It was subsequently screened at Outfest, where it won an award for emerging cinema,[2] and at the Montreal World Film Festival, where it was a nominee for the Golden Zenith Award for Best First Feature.
