CORA BORA

Screening Thursday, August 8, 2024, 7:00 PM @ Cinestudio 

Cora Bora centers on the titular nicknamed musician, who left Portland and her girlfriend behind to pursue her dreams in LA. The couple’s open relationship allows each to explore, or in Cora’s case, endure an awkward one-night-stand with a sexy flat earther (Thomas Mann).

With underwhelming gigs and a manager who uses quotation fingers when speaking about Cora’s career, LA isn’t panning out quite as she’d planned. So when she catches wind that her girlfriend (Jojo T. Gibbs) is getting serious with someone else (Ayden Mayeri), she rushes home to pull off a grand romantic gesture and get her girl back. But if screwball comedies have taught us anything, it’s that the road to love can be a bumpy ride. (Synopsis from Mashable)
