    • Synopsis
    • It’s simple: David is a good-looking guy, smart enough to manipulate women into sleeping with him, but not smart enough not to. And Sam… well Sam makes up for the shortcomings in his film career and sex life with an over-abundance of iPhones. Or maybe it’s the other way around. But either way, one of them has the brilliant idea to combine their powers to create a documentary about the necessity for deception in the search for intimacy in today’s world. That, or a quasi-pornographic, morally and legally questionable, might technically be revenge porn, mega-montage. Much to their dismay, they discover that not only do some of their targets have feelings, but also thoughts, and the last thing that these two guys were prepared to grapple with were criticism and analysis and god forbid, introspection.
