Current Project

Bad At Sex

Logline

A struggling millennial documentarian slides into a self-esteem tailspin when her boyfriend admits she’s not his best sex. To save her career - and her ego - she interviews every man she’s ever slept with to see if she’s actually bad at sex, but ends up unpacking a lot more about herself.
