SF IndieFest: Rough Edges

A San Francisco technical writer and a San Jose artist hook up at a BDSM club, their one-night stand evolving into a tentative relationship in which they explore each other’s kinks and try to keep things casual. Writer/director Charles Lyons elicits strong performances from actors Tim Huls and Phoebe Jones as a pair comfortable with physical intimacy but hesitant to reveal emotional vulnerability.

“This sexy, edgy tour of kinky San Francisco has at its beating heart a deconstruction of modern love, intimacy and fear. Every step in the characters’ deepening connection made me feel more invested in their growing vulnerability and the actors’ skill at representing what most movies leave unsaid and unshown.” -Carol Queen, Center for Sex and Culture

Cast and crew expected to attend for live Q&A.
