The Plot

“Summer in Saint Anger” is a comedy/horror/erotic thriller hybrid set in the same universe as “Envy/Desire,” though not a conventional sequel. It follows Bella and Natasha as they navigate the neoliberal, post-woke world of dating as would-be socialites in a cosmopolitan city. They frequent queer club nights, communist art galleries, and, of course, cunty doll brunches.

Bella, having broken up with her crossdressing ex-bf Ethan, is now in a relationship with Toby, an archetypal leftist “soy boy” whose income comes from Twitch streaming and a small allowance from his parents. Natasha, on the other hand, is a successful model and recording artist, residing in a Manhattan penthouse with her 6ft 3 ripped and chiseled finance bro boyfriend, Josh.

As Bella becomes increasingly disenchanted with her own life and envious of her best friend, her mental health deteriorates as she is simultaneously stalked physically and harassed with airdrops by mysterious masked men. Both couples decide to take a trip upstate to Josh’s newly acquired townhouse to escape the suffocation of the city, but in their isolation, reality itself begins to collapse as violence and infideltly become inevitable.

The Impact

“Envy/Desire” the precursor to “Summer in Saint Anger” was self-funded and made on a a minimal budget. This was very limited – with the feature film we wanted to up the production value and add new locations, dramatic set pieces, and characters. To create a more cinematic experience. Much like its Envy/Desire the film tackles taboo themes with irreverence and engages with the culture war in a provocative. owing to this the film is a difficult sell to the media establishment which only promotes empty one-dimensional inoffensive art (especially from queer artists”).
