LGBTQ+, New Writing

Ants and Other Strong Things


A gripping queer sci-fi romance thriller set thirty years in the future, in a high-surveillance state waging war against the LGBTQIA+ community. As the International Cyberspace Order tightens its grip, Charlie and Maya must choose between staying hidden or rising up and resisting. Navigating danger and evading government drones, their relationship blossoms behind closed doors, fuelled by dreams of a freer world. This political dystopian drama explores love, identity and defiance in the face of tyranny. 'Lucid, heart-breaking and cathartic... elevated by mighty, soulful performances and tight chemistry' (BingeFringe.com).
