Director Statement

Sexuality is usually expressed through having sex. What happens


when a pandemic forces you to take that out of the equation?

Andonis and Kostas find ways to suppress their sexuality in a lot of


different and sometimes a bit silly ways. They spend their days online
doing drag aerobics, cooking, exercising, experimenting with sex toys
and mostly by negotiating a meeting with each other.

But human connection can't be forced or engineered. The greatest


distance between them is what they can't confess to each other.

Sexual Distancing is a post teenager queer dramedy about the sex we


didn't have and the way we grew emotionally when all we had was an
internet connection.
