<p>Alternately humorous and touching, SEARCHERS draws on encounters with New Yorkers of different races, genders, ages, social classes, and sexual preferences, as they navigate their preferred dating apps, searching for their special someone. The characters, including the director himself, wade through apps, using their instincts and experience to decode dating profiles while narrating their decision-making process. These portraits capture the variety of sexual and romantic experiences available online, as well as the diverse community of people seeking them out set against the backdrop of a bustling New York City enduring its COVID-19 summer. </p>
