Neon nights, bad decisions, and the chase for something real.

Overview

Backseat of the Couch follows four young artists navigating identity, ambition, and community in NYC. Sofie, an underground club dancer, drifts through fleeting nights. Anthony, a Black club kid battling an eating disorder, gives too much to his friends. Clyde, a lonely emo skater, searches for belonging. Vivienne, a trans actress, is manipulated by a predatory coach. A follow-up to Trial Period, Kiernan “Knives” Francis’ film shifts from club chaos to quiet introspection, capturing the raw, in-between moments of youth. Blending mumblecore and New Queer Cinema, it features first-time actors, a Midwest emo-infused soundtrack, and an unfiltered look at finding connection in a city that never stops moving.
