Synopsis: Jenna & Kate have been together for 2 years, but tonight they’re looking to spice things up by inviting the alluring, mysterious Mia into their bed. What starts as a nervous rideshare to a sexy Airbnb quickly devolves into a masterclass in awkwardness & betrayal. While Jenna is busy being an anxious mess, she begins to realize that her girlfriend might have a secret agenda—& a much deeper history with Mia than she let on. This is a stylish, high-tension one-night-stand drama that proves sometimes the third person in the room isn’t there to save the relationship, but rather to help you see the cracks in it.

Wendy Jo Carlton is a lesbian filmmaker. In an interview about the film she spoke about how she came up with the idea for the film. “With Good Kisser, I saw a woman eating melon while sitting in the light from an open refrigerator. That became Jenna, the protagonist. I’ve been writing female & queer characters for a long time & Jenna developed quickly in my heart, as someone going through emotional panic.” *
It’s a Small Sapphic World: Julia Eringer (Mia) wrote & co-starred in Girls Like Magic (2017).
