Lesbian filmmaker Jenni Olson needs some help to complete her journey down The Royal Road.

That’s the title of her latest film, and she has a Kickstarter campaign going to raise funds to finish it. She describes the movie as “a lyrical new film contemplating butch lesbian desire, nostalgia, Casanova, a history of the Mexican-American War and so much more.” She explores El Camino Real, the road that connected the Spanish missions of California, and includes a brief lecture on nostalgia and socialism by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner (Angels in America).

Olson, who has received funding for the film from both institutional and individual donors, is trying to raise $20,000 via Kickstarter by Thursday. She has $5,000 to go to reach that goal.
