DEAR LEMON LIMA Artwork
I recently went to a screening of DEAR LEMON LIMA, which is in the "Narrative Competition" of the 2009 LA Film Festival. And in my review, I mentioned that drawings are sometimes used to illustrate what's going on and the characters' feelings.
Well, I actually found this promotional postcard that featured some of them, which you can see above, and I thought I would share it with you.
In addition, on the back of the card, there is this message from Vanessa's (the main character) ex-boyfriend, Philip, which absolutely illustrates the tone and kind of character he is. I think it's really funny. Check it out below.

Dear Lemon Lima is a movie in the "Narrative Competition" at the 2009 Los Angeles Film Festival. It follows the story of Vanessa Lemor, a 13 year old girl living in Alaska who discovers her Yup'ik heritage while competing in her school's Snowstorm Survivor competition, along with her group of eccentric friends.
The movie stars with Vanessa (Savanah Wiltfong) being dumped by her boyfriend, Philip. To Vanessa it seems like the end of the world. With a wall in her room plastered of pictures of Philip, she decides to win him back. Unfortunately, things get complicated when Philip, having spent the summer in France, suddenly becomes popular. Vanessa on the other end is quite the outsider and pretty peculiar. But that won't stop her. Vanessa meets the people who will become her new team when she is sent to the weight room (or really what I would call the "reject room"). They include Samantha (Vanessa Marano), a pathological liar, Nothing (formally called Madeline), the heiress to a funeral parlor chain, and Hercules, a nice but awkward boy with very strict and overprotective parents. They name themselves the "FUBAR," which means "Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition." Together they will fight against the odds to win it all.
