CGiii Comment

Robo-sexual-deviancy... sounds fabulous!

And, what a fabulous film this is...madly ambitious. It straddles a precarious border...between the camp and the serious...a perfect balancing act!


Trailer... 

The(ir) Blurb...

Friends of Sophia is a character-driven short which interjects high drama into a near-future setting in which queerness is the default. Robosexuality, however, is yet be widely tolerated. The short inverses sci-fi genre and queer coming-out story conventions to create a fresh take on both and exploring complex issues of sexuality.
