Achiever

Directed by Charlie Traisman

When overachiever Alexa suddenly can’t reach orgasm after starting antidepressants, she refuses to accept defeat. With the same grit she’s applied to every challenge, she launches a spreadsheet-driven quest to “achieve,” experimenting with positions, partners, and kinks like they’re items on a to-do list. But when Alexa’s plan fails and she meets self-proclaimed “watcher”, Garth, she discovers that intimacy isn’t something you can hack or optimize—it’s something messier, stranger, and more human. ACHIEVER  is a sharp, heartfelt comedy about pleasure, perfectionism, and learning to let go in a world that demands constant achievement.
