Project Synopsis
An introverted man captivated by the news and disconnected from the world, plunges into the fast-paced realm of online gay dating and hookups. As he loses himself in a cycle of faceless encounters, his sense of identity begins to dissolve. Amid the chaos of fleeting connections, he must face the price of becoming invisible in a world that only sees him as a profile

Description
Andre is charismatic yet unsettling, exuding confidence with a charm that fluctuates between alluring and off-putting. His tacky pickup lines create an air of unintentional cringe, making him both amusing and slightly intimidating. He challenges the protagonist’s perception of dating apps, triggering a spiral of self-doubt. Actors must be comfortable portraying a queer role. Queer actors will be given priority.
