Description

This nail clipper was sent to various businesses who were selling the video Go Fish. It was created to assist with the promotion/distribution of the film.

Context

Go Fish is a 1994 American drama film written by Guinevere Turner and Rose Troche and directed by Rose Troche. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 1994, and was the first film to be sold to a distributor, Samuel Goldwyn, during that event for $450,000. The film was released during Pride Month in June 1994 and eventually grossed $2.5 million. The film was seen as a groundbreaking film that celebrated lesbian culture on all levels, and launched the career of director Troche and Turner. Go Fish is said to have proved the marketability of lesbian issues for the film industry. The nail clipper refers to a scene in the movie where the two lovers, in a moment of affection, clipped each others fingernails.
