Writer/director/composer Ilima Considine is known for being the voice behind the international art pop experiment, The Sexbots, whose electronic soundscapes chart her inner emotional world. She is the creator of Waiting for the Kick, a reimagining of Oscar Wilde's Salome as a gay, horror musical.
Drug Holiday is an exploration of belonging, vulnerability, and destructive coping mechanisms in a fictional version of Portland, OR where rapid gentrification is colliding with the opioid crisis. It is a very dark, love letter to my adopted hometown.
