MAKE FRIENDS, NOT FANS
ABOUT THE FILM
Vex and Maris are sisters. Maris is a nun and Vex makes her living on OnlyFans. When Maris is forced to leave her convent and move in with Vex and her partner Cameron, she has to reckon with her sister’s unorthodox job as well as their ten-year sibling estrangement. And after Maris catches wind of the epidemic of loneliness sweeping the manosphere, both sisters have to grapple with the ex-nun’s inability to mind her own business in the face of human suffering. HOLY FANS is a short film about grace and redemption. How we fall apart, how we fight it out, and how we ultimately all just want to be someone who belongs.
