The Edenites

A meditative mix of funny and sad, Edenites captures San Francisco at the close of the 2000’s in all its promiscuous, hyperbolic and bittersweet glory.

The story, such as it is, follows a week in the lives of an over-sexed trust fund baby, his sci-fi geek boyfriend, a bi-sexual debutante, a famous writer and her small-business owning, small-town dwelling ex. Add to the mix an East Bay couple trying to get through their first year as new parents, one man skipping out on his boyfriend and another looking to score one and the world’s wisest roommate. The result is a sleek ninety-minute comedy sort of like a soap opera mixed with a Chekhov play, mixed with your actual life.
