About the Director
------------------
Nicole Conn - Writer/Director
Nicole Conn has been a die-hard romantic and black and white film
fan from the age of ten.
Conn has written five novels, a teleplay, eight screenplays, and
has produced two soundtracks. Her last venture before Elena
Undone, was little man, a documentary she wrote, directed and
produced about her own premature son born 100 days early and only
weighing one pound. The feature documentary went on to win 12
Best Documentary Awards, along with the prestigious Cedar Sinai's
Courageous Beginnings Award and Family Pride's Family Tree Award.
The film made three TOP TEN FILMS OF 2005. Showtime picked up
little man and ran an Emmy campaign on this hard-hitting story
about Nicholas' premature birth and subsequent 5-month hospital
stay in a Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit.
Conn's passion for film carried her through her first feature
where she single-handedly raised the money, wrote, directed and
produced Claire of the Moon, the maverick film about a woman's
journey to her sexual identity. The film garnered rave reviews
and paved the way for lesbian themed cinema in 1991. Conn also
created an historic FIRST for lesbian cinema: ancillary in the
form of a novelization (in its 15th reprint and 10 Year
Anniversary Republish), a making-of documentary, MOMENTS
(best-selling lesbian documentary ever made), soundtracks,
s, t-shirts, etc. She followed these projects with the
award winning short film, Cynara...Poetry in Motion.
