Nicole Conn's lesbian love story, Claire of the Moon (l993), is a movie more noteworthy for its production and release strategies than its artistic merits or contribution to genuine lesbian cinema. The setting is a writer's retreat on the beautiful Oregon coast, run by a sultry lesbian, who mischievously books into the same cottage the elegant Noel Benedict (Karen Trumbo), a respected therapist-writer, and Claire Jabrowski (Trisha Todd), a successful satirist.
