LOGLINE:

A reclusive romance novelist and his glamorous frontwoman confront each other to determine: who is the real "Silky Butterstone?"

SYNOPSIS:

Romance. Murder. Frenemies. Inspired by real-life literary hoax "JT Leroy," this short film explores the vicissitude of persona, the subjective value assigned to cultural icons, and considers AI as an absurdist metaphor: who is the artist, who is the machine, who is the real "Silky Butterstone?"

Featuring Galen Howard (PHYSICAL, BROOKLYN NINE-NINE) and Hilary Smith (comedy duo PRETTY GROSS). Written and Directed by Erin Granat (MOON MANOR - Showtime). Director of Cinematography Ryan DeFranco (TROY - Sundance, The New Yorker). Music by Joe Berry (M83).
