# Sell/Buy/Date (2022) — Television & Cinema Intelligence Dossier

> **Archytele Living Vault Canonical Record**: https://www.archytele.com/show/sell-buy-date-2022

## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

Sell/Buy/Date is a 2022 American hybrid film that functions as both a documentary and a narrative piece. Directed, written, and produced by Tony-winning performer Sarah Jones, the project is based on her off-Broadway play of the same name. The film follows Jones as she investigates the sex industry, utilizing her signature multicultural character work to examine how issues of race, power, and the economy intersect with personal experiences. By incorporating interviews and monologues, the film seeks to foster a broader conversation about stigma and exploitation in contemporary society.

The film is culturally significant for its attempt to humanize a complex, often stigmatized subject through the medium of performance art. Its pacing is defined by its documentary-comedy-drama structure, which allows for a shift between intimate, real-world interviews and the theatrical portrayals for which Jones is known. With a runtime of one hour and 38 minutes, the film provides a platform for diverse voices to weigh in on the sex industry, aiming to provoke inquiry rather than provide simple prescriptions for societal change.
