Where creative types go to fulfill their financial needs and pray they don't burn out before they've made it big.

An adaptation of Tao Lin’s beloved cult novel "Taipei". As one relationship collapses, another blooms for Erin, swept into the world of Paul Chen, a mysterious, charismatic author. When he proposes documenting every aspect of their courtship in an epic laptop-filmed “documentary”, the couple enter into a performative bad romance, fueled by substances and sleepless nights.

A tender yet tragic tale that recounts the intimate journey of two women, ROSE and MAX, whose connection cautiously dances on the fine line between friendship and romance. Told through the juxtaposing lenses of their drastically different experiences in the same space, we fall privy to their love as it unfolds, blossoms and deflates. Led by movement and sound, we teeter on the border of fantasy and nightmare as ROSE experiences the painful repercussions of falling in love with someone who doesn’t love themselves.
