SLEEP WITH ME
Two night owls navigate love, isolation, and disability in this romantic series
Description
Harry spends her nights DJing at the local radio station, dispensing advice to the broken-hearted. As a wheelchair user, she’s learned to ignore societal isolation and now practices hyper-positivity to help others find love. When she meets Luna, a cagey textbook writer who can only fall asleep in the daytime, the pair’s undeniable connection rocks both of their worlds.
In Episodes 1-3 of this rousing romance from NewFest alum Samantha Lee (BILLIE & EMMA), Harry and Luna must merge their self-sustaining bubbles in order to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of true satisfaction. SLEEP WITH ME is a love affair for night owls that explores the many ways queerness and disability intersect.
