Art Erotica peeks up the ironic skirt of the Octopus Club's over-the-top art auction. This annual event cleverly links fun & human sexuality to HIV awareness & the perpetual support of the local AIDS community. Titillating images, witty characters, & an impressive soundtrack from Comfort Standmake this documentary short even more entertaining than it is educational. The recent surge in US HIV/AIDS compelled first time director Jason Howell to profile the Octopus Club's successful & sustainable approach to HIV/AIDS awareness and community support. Jason's applies his 'educate through entertainment' style to engage communities who currently have the highest rates of new infection in the United States. Special thanks to Invermundo Financial Services for their support.
