About Fucktoys:
Part-time sex worker, full-time chaos magnet, AP is convinced that the universe has it out for her… and she might be right. In Fucktoys — the wild, unfiltered debut from writer/director/star Annapurna Sriram — AP seeks a cosmic reset after a swampy tarot reading (courtesy Big Freedia) tells her she needs $1,000 and a sacrificial lamb to lift her curse. Armed with neither, she sets off on a bizarre quest with her kindred spirit Danni (Sadie Scott) through Trashtown, USA — a dystopian, neon-drenched sprawl of assorted oddballs, Tom of Finland cops, and strip clubs galore.
Channeling the cinematic stylings of French New Wave, cross-pollinated with the rebellious vibe of 90s-era Gregg Araki, Fucktoys is rude, crude, unhinged, girlypop middle finger to filmic convention. The film features a spunky and beloved cast that includes 13 Reasons Why’s Brandon Flynn, The Comeback’s Damian Young, and a knockout performance by Heated Rivalry’s François Arnaud Sriram’s Fucktoys does not disappoint. The film took home a Special Jury Award at both the SXSW and Fantasia Film Festivals, and has been amassing a slew of other audience awards, critical acclaim, and accolades throughout its festival run.
Starring:
Annapurna Sriram, Sadie Scott, François Arnaud, Big Freedia, Damian Young and Brandon Flynn
