HI I NEED TO BE LOVED
A director ushers Craigslist actors one by one into an audition room and asks them to read from a collection of her spam emails. The equipment is all visible — lights, teleprompter, boom operator — and the locations keep shifting: a cow pasture, a sunset, a strip club.
A film about what happens when malware becomes script. Algorithmic contamination and human desire turn out to speak the same language.
Is this poetry or malware?
