A San Francisco technical writer and a San Jose artist hook up at a BDSM club, their one-night stand evolving into a tentative relationship in which they explore each other’s kinks and try to keep things casual. Writer/director Charles Lyons elicits strong performances from actors Tim Huls and Phoebe Jones as a pair comfortable with physical intimacy but hesitant to reveal emotional vulnerability.

Four people soliloquizing in a room.

In a single, uninterrupted take, BOY and GIRL meet for the first time, connecting, exploring and eventually facing an inconvenient truth. Set against the backdrop of a hilariously self-important art gallery amidst an eclectic crowd of 'art-enthusiasts', BOY and GIRL embrace the chance to play like children in a room full of adults. With the help of Key & Peele cinematographer Charles Pappert, Brief. achieves a sweeping and timeless effect, coaxing you inside and out of this chance encounter in real time.
