Co-Writer/Director Sophie Kargman’s “Query” was selected to world premiere at this year’s recently postponed Oscar-qualifying Tribeca Film Festival, which is due to be shown online in the coming months to select audiences.
The film questions how heterosexuality is formed and stars Justice Smith (All the Bright Places), Graham Patrick Martin (Catch-22) and Armie Hammer (Call Me by Your Name).
Over the course of a day, Jay and Alex, roommates and best friends, spend their time verbally jousting over whether it’s instinct or social norms that drive their heterosexual proclivities.
The young men are bro-ey but thoughtful enough to engage one another on the topic.
As the day unfolds through PlayStation battles and beers, the barriers slowly fall and the conversation climaxes in a choice that has a profound impact on their evening.
