High Maintenance tells a personal story about the power struggle in a relationship through the high-concept conventions of the sci-fi genre.

I aimed to make a film about the future but emblematic of our era. As a result, High Maintenance touches upon serial monogamy, consumerism, and "personalized" new technology in a world that is more linked than it has ever been, yet somehow also more disconnected. The film hopefully brings to light a condition that is uniquely human.
