Two sex workers booked for a threesome meet for the first time in the hotel elevator. As they ascend towards the client’s room they begin to form a connection. Afterwards, on their way back down, it becomes clear that one of them kissed a girl and liked it.
The short film Going Down shot on Kodak, was developed and directed by Aella Jordan-Edge with a script written by Ruby Abbiss. The two creatives wanted to destigmatise sex work by co-opting a rom com trope. Eva’s day at work involves a meet cute and just like if it was an office job, it happens in an elevator.
