Feature Film The Sky is Blue With Lies

Sini plays the lead in John Reed’s feature film The Sky is Blue With Lies.
”Late 70s, downtown NYC, bar scene. Fara (Sini Hill), the barkeep’s young wife, falls in love with her beautiful stepson, Po (John Busa), just back from California. Early 80s, a filmmaker goes back to the witnesses and players, who tell the story of the tragedy. It’s Phaedra and Hippolytus, shot in a cool-tempered No Wave style.
