Threesomes are hot. This is a known fact. Having a sexual encounter with not one but two people (with two sets of hands, tongues, fingers, genitals, etc.) opens up erotic possibilities and new emotional frontiers. But threesomes are tricky. If someone isn’t up-front about their feelings—or is withholding information—things can get weird.

This dynamic is the subject of local director and screenwriter Wendy Jo Carlton’s Good Kisser, which premieres at this year’s Seattle International Film Festival. It opens with couple Kate (Rachel Paulson) and Jenna (Kari Alison Hodge) taking a rideshare to go have some hot threesome-times with the sexy and worldly Mia (Julia Eringer).
