Calgary Queer Arts Society

CORA BORA (2023)

Cora (Megan Stalter, HACKS) goes home to win back her girlfriend, and soon realizes it’s much more than her love life that needs salvaging.

After moving to LA to chase her dreams of becoming a musician with limited success, chaotic, poly-bisexual, Cora (Megan Stalter, HACKS), makes a surprise trip back to Portland to try to win back her girlfriend, Justine (Jojo T. Gibbs, CIVIL WAR) when she senses their open relationship might be on the rocks.

In a moment of desperation, she heads back to her hometown of Portland, Oregon on a mission to fix her shaky relationship. Embarking on a wild journey, she confronts many self-induced roadblocks including a new woman living in her girlfriend’s house, a lost pet, and a pansexual orgy. Will Cora be able to salvage her relationship, and her career?

Margaret Cho, Darrell Hammond, Manny Jacinto, Heather Morris, Ayden Mayeri and Chelsea Peretti complete the cast of this hilarious, and totally relatable, comedy.

Press for CORA BORA:
“CORA BORA proves a sensational cringe comedy, spiked with wicked humor, skin-crawling awkward scenarios, and an ardent — if wounded — heart. Deftly dancing from brash jokes to tender dialogue, Stalter reveals a riveting range and stirring screen presence. Simply put, it’s easy to fall for CORA BORA.” – Mashable
