This Sunday, April 3rd, the movie we’ve all been waiting for will finally have its world premiere. Yes, that movie. The full-length one starring written by and starring Brittani Nichols! And starring Jasika Nicole! And directed by Carly Usdin! And executive produced/shot by Robin Roemer! It’s Suicide Kale, and as you can see, it was created by everyone you’ve ever loved. It will screen on closing night of the Queer Hippo International LGBT Film Festival in Houston, Texas.
Suicide Kale is the story of two couples — Billie Steinberg (Nicole) and her wife, Jordan (Brianna Baker); and Jasmine Rawlings (Nichols) and her new girlfriend, Penny Fisher (Lindsay Hicks) — whose vegan brunch is wrecked when one of them finds a suicide note. It’s sweet and sad and funny and so fucking real you’ll be squirming around in your seat half the time, I promise you. Also, there’s an adorable dog and no one dies!

Is the dog in question Arthur?! I will die if its Arthur. I mean, I’ll probs die anyway, but still…
It’s not Arthur but he’ll be in our next film.
Because you know it’s serious when the kale comes out. The trailer looks awesome. Hope they have a great viewing!! Also, has anyone else been listening to the Alice Isn’t Dead podcast with Jasika Nicole performing? She’s killing it.
Yes I’ve been listening to Alice Isn’t Dead and it’s FANTASTIC so far.
Thistle Man is killing it
Come to Portland!!! Please?
So tempted to road trip to Houston for this. Would love to see it.

Omfg! I wish I could go!
Texas Straddlers don’t let me down!
A++ use of a Mal Blum song! I was already going to see it, but if I wasn’t I definitely would now. Also I really loved Penny Fisher in the Better Half webseries. I’m excited for when I can download it!
