Candy Ego
Director, Ash Smith
Cinematographer, Anna Chiaretta Lavatelli
Candy Ego is a sci-fi noir comedy set in Santek Beach, a seaside city known for its biotech hubs, military zones, and techno-shamanistic cults. The story follows two temporary researchers, Lu Kim and Gladys M., and an ensemble cast of characters as they navigate the paranoid underpinnings of their sun-sparkled world. All is not quite as it seems, relationships are tested, and perverse humor unravels the city’s No Bad Days motto.
