🎬Women and Sometimes Men

Women and Sometimes Men (2017) is an intimate, raw, and bittersweet independent romantic drama that tackles the complex, often messy realities of sexual fluidity for the QueerFilmHub.com master database. The story centers on Sara (Tasha Ames), a young woman who finds herself plunged into an immediate existential crisis. After her boyfriend, August (Ian Shepard), proposes to her, Sara says yes—only to completely blindside him by calling the entire wedding off just twenty-four hours later. Confused, restless, and feeling trapped by standard heteronormative milestones, Sara realizes she is chasing an unfulfilled part of her past.

Years ago in college, she shared a brief, intense romance with a woman. Ever since, she has been plagued by the lingering memory of that intimacy. Desperate to find that feeling again, Sara asks herself a daunting question: How can I experience a woman's touch and build a sapphic connection without entirely giving up my attraction to men?
This single curiosity launches Sara onto a vulnerable path of sexual re-awakening across the city. As she tests her own emotional boundaries, her journey leads her through a series of encounters with beautiful, complex women—most notably Ali (Lindsey McKeon)—and, true to the title, occasionally back to men. Directed with a naturalistic, indie-gaze approach by Lesley Demetriades, the film strips away the typical Hollywood glossy finish to explore bisexual erasure, the fear of missing out, and the emotional courage required to step away from a safe life plan to map out your own authentic desires.
