SXSW 2009 Preview: ‘Modern Love is Automatic’

Continuing our preview for the South by Southwest Film Festival 2009, we bring you info and the trailer for ‘Modern Love is Automatic’.   What’s any decent film festival without a nice, heartfelt chick flick, right?   ‘Modern Love is Automatic’ tells the heartwarming tale of Lorraine Schultz.   Lorraine is a nurse in a doctor’s office. Every day she rides the bus to work, listens to her co-workers gossip, comes home. None of it really matters.

After finding an issue of Shackled Monthly on the bus, Lorraine is drawn into a secret, seedy world of lonely men, cheap motel rooms, and whips and chains. Meanwhile, her roommate Adrian’s dreams of becoming a glamorous fashion model are cut short when the only employment she can find is showcasing mattresses in a strip mall.

Will Lorraine’s secret life as a dominatrix be revealed? Will Adrian sell enough mattresses to be featured in the big coupon spread? In pursuing their hidden desires and misguided dreams, both girls find their paths crossing in ways they never expected.

Check out the trailer (definitely NSFW):
