Hello from FilmBuff!

As a leader in the asexual community, we are pleased to announce and share with you the launch of the astonishing new documentary, (A)sexual!

(A)sexual is an eye-opening look into the lives of people all over the country who don’t experience what so many of us take for granted: sexual attraction. Facing a sex obsessed culture, a mountain of stereotypes and misconceptions, and a lack of social or scientific research, asexuals – a growing population of people who experience no sexual attraction – struggle to claim their own identity, living without those feelings that the rest of us consider to be so natural.

Currently available on iTunes, it’s a film we know your audience would enjoy. Please support the release of this film via your website, blog, listings page, social media and/or other platforms.

(A)sexual follows the growth of a community that experiences no sexual attraction. In 2000, David Jay came out to his parents. He was asexual and was fine with it. And he was not alone. Studies show that 1% of the population is asexual. But in a society obsessed with sex, how do you deal with life as an outsider? Combining intimate interviews, vérité footage, and animation with fearless humor and pop culture imagery, David and our four other characters grapple with this universal question, and the outcomes might surprise you.
