An erotic love story "Borders of Love" Official trailer by Loco Films
Paris-based Loco Films has hired “Paying For It,” the adaptation of Chester Brown’s bestselling graphic novel by Canadian director Sook-Yin Lee (“Octavio is Dead!”). The film will make its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in the competitive Platform section.
The live-action film is co-written by Lee and Joanne Sarazen ("Backspot," "Tammy's Always Dying") and stars Dan Beirne ("Twentieth Century," "Priscilla"), rising actor Emily Lê ("Riceboy Sleeps") and acclaimed activist, author and performer Andrea Werhun ("Modern Whore, Thriving: A Dissociative Reverie").
The film explores the themes of love, sex, and non-monogamy for adults. Set in the late 90s, it centers on Chester, an introverted cartoonist who sleeps with sex workers and discovers a new kind of intimacy after his girlfriend, Sonny, decides to redefine their committed relationship.
