Watch Me
Directed by Tony Arriola, a member of Sons of Summer, Tenancy is a grounded, alt–sci-fi drama set in a near-future economy where people can rent out their bodies and lose all sense of passing time. This intimate, high-concept thriller explores the human cost of sacrificing moments, memories, and connection in the pursuit of survival.
Crafted with Sons of Summer’s signature focus on character-driven genre storytelling, Tenancy builds a world that is both imaginative and uncannily familiar. The result is a film that not only interrogates the value of time but challenges audiences to confront the parts of life that can never be bought back.

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
Sons of Summer proudly presented a special screening of Tenancy, a near-future sci-fi drama that examines the profound tension between time and money. The event centered on mental-health awareness, highlighting how the film’s core question—what is the true cost of the hours we trade away?—reflects the pressures many people face in today’s gig-driven world.
The evening featured an intimate performance by Sameer Gadhia, lead singer of Young the Giant, who debuted an original song that matched the film’s themes. His performance underscored Tenancy’s emotional backbone: the grief of lost moments, the burden of survival, and the universal longing to be present for the people we love.
The screening served not only as a showcase of the film but as a conversation about wellbeing, balance, and the irreplaceable value of our lived time.
