When shy college freshman Devon asks cool-girl Celeste to be her roommate, a blossoming friendship quickly spirals into a war of passive aggression.

A group of friends gathers at a remote cabin to hold a séance for their late friend, Willa. Scout (early 30s, they/them) wants to keep the peace, but tensions are high, Renee (early 30s, they/them), Willa’s ex, is desperate to connect with her, while Emily (late 20s, she/her), Scout’s girlfriend, seems uneasy. Meanwhile, CJ (late 20s, she/her) and Jane (mid-20s, she/her) watch the drama unfold, trying to stay out of it. As the séance begins, Scout stumbles upon a shocking secret, Emily and Willa had an affair. Before they can process it, strange things start happening, and Scout realizes they are the only one who can actually see Willa’s ghost. As Willa stirs up chaos, taunting Scout and pushing tensions to a breaking point, the group’s friendships unravel, leading to a dramatic and absurd showdown.

Through forty interconnected vignettes, Human Theories is a comedic kaleidoscope exploring how people try, and often fail, to connect with one another in this weird world. Filmed over a year on location in New York City with a diverse ensemble cast of over 50 actors and non-actors, the film is an experimental love letter to the awkward struggle of modern city living.
