Summaries

After an anonymous encounter, a high schooler obsessively searches dating apps to find a mysterious stranger from a sex party, prioritizing instant gratification over meaningful relationships until this fixation takes hold.

After a chance encounter at an anonymous sex party, a boy hunts through the world of a hook-up app to track down the mystery man. Favouring the instant gratification of anonymous, no-strings sexual encounters over meaningful relationships, high schooler Sequin is part of the always logged-on, but never-engaged, hook-up generation. He ghosts ex-partners and remains emotionally unavailable. That's until he finds his way to an anonymous sex party, where a whole new dizzyingly alluring world unfolds before him. In one scene, Sequin connects with a mysterious stranger, but they are separated suddenly. Utterly fixated on this man, Sequin sets off on an exhilarating and perilous mission to track him down. Cowritten by Jory Anast and Samuel Van Grinsven, Sequin in a Blue Room is a highly-accomplished queer coming-of-age tale and a breath of fresh air from the Australian independent film scene.

The story of 16-year-old Sequin (Leach), who is exploring his burgeoning sexuality through an obsession with anonymous, no-strings-attached sexual encounters. That is until he finds his way into The Blue Room - a strictly anonymous sex party - where he meets a captivating stranger.
