Dear Lemon Lima is a 2009 family comedy feature film written and directed by Suzi Yoonessi.[1] Based on her short film of the same name[2] and developed with the support of Film Independent[3] and its Filmmaker Labs, this film is about a 13-year-old half-Yup’ik girl navigating her way through first heartbreak and the perils of prep school in Fairbanks, Alaska. In learning the meanings of love, friendship, and community, Vanessa Lemor finds her voice by embracing her heritage and reclaiming the spirit of the World Eskimo Indian Olympics (WEIO)[4] at a private school where her narcissistic sweetheart's family is legendary.
