This film is about SPIT.

On May 25th, 2025, the genetic testing giant “22andYou” declared bankruptcy.

To pay back creditors, the company decides to auction… everything.

The warehouses.

The patents.

The IP.

And worst of all, the genetic data of fifteen million unsuspecting people.

A documentary crew is granted unrestricted access to film the chaos. What unfolds is part circus, part corporate nightmare, part psychological collapse, and 100 percent a satire of modern tech, wealth, and the people who believe they deserve to own human DNA.

Our Protagonist: Mia

Mia is a 28-year-old uninvested corporate employee with a made-up job title who has built her entire career on avoiding eye contact and staying out of the way. Smart, capable, and quietly insecure, she’s the kind of person her coworkers forget is in the room until she coughs. When her boss sends her to an exclusive biotech auction with vague instructions and zero context, she discovers she’s expected to bid on something unimaginable: the genetic data of fifteen million people.

She arrives late, breathless, and wearing a mismatched suit she found on sale two years ago. She smells faintly of dollar store perfume because she spilled the sample on her wrist while running out the door. She is already overwhelmed before she even steps inside. The staff is confused by her. Most bidders overlook her entirely, and the few who notice her do it with their noses in the air.

Bidder number 52. A woman who has absolutely no business being in a room full of billionaires, tech founders, and self-appointed geniuses. And yet she is the only person there willing to admit she has no idea what is going on.

The Elite Of "SPIT"

Every one of them sees DNA as a business model, a luxury item, or a branding opportunity.

Capitalism celebrates that.

This film does not.

What the Film Is Really About

• Data Privacy and Corporate Ethics
• A world where human DNA becomes currency.
• Wealth, Power, and Insanity
• Billionaires bidding for genomes like handbags.
• Satire of Tech Culture
• Exposing the delusion, ego, and visionary language that built the mess.
• The Power of One Regular Person
• Mia understands the moral stakes better than anyone and refuses to play along.

Inspired by a reality where $99 DNA kits exist, companies store data they cannot secure, and governments quietly trade genetic information, this mockumentary is absurd until you realize it is barely satire at all.

Artist’s Statement

I was fortunate to grow up seeing diversity on screen. Having been raised in various cities and countries around the world, my parents exposed me to many things and showed me how much this big world has to offer. 

It was only when I arrived at film school that I quickly realized how White-centric and, coincidentally, often surface-level the entertainment industry really is. This was a bit discouraging for me as a person just in training. At the same time, news outlets constantly pump out articles that detail different ways the world is going to hell, for lack of a better word.

 This can be distressing at times, but art and entertainment have the unique ability to capture light and positivity and have helped me to keep moving forward. 

For me, it is not about who is in my movie or how pretty it looks, although those are still great qualities to strive towards. Ultimately, it is about what my film has to say. The most important thing I want to do as a filmmaker is to document, reflect on, and speak out about the times I'm living in, no matter how dark they may be. "SPIT" was not a vision I have had since childhood. Instead, it is what I thought of at the time — a silly idea based on a bizarre article I read a few quarters ago. I shared the idea with my friends, and it grew into an opportunity to tell a unique, original, diverse story that reflects the horrors of capitalism. 

When I think of "SPIT," I think about Tupac Shakur saying, "Why have 52 rooms when you know there's somebody with no room?" I think about how my Aunt did not work for six weeks due to a government shutdown, but she makes the sacrifice gladly if health care becomes more affordable in the United States. I think about how the earliest auctions sold women and Black people. I reflect on the privileges I had growing up as a middle-class child. This film showcases capitalism for what it truly is: a system driven by the goal of profit, regardless of the cost. 

"SPIT" allows me to utilize all the knowledge and skills I have acquired to create the largest-scale film of my career. Going through this process will teach me a lot about the art of filmmaking and also about myself.

I am humbled and honored because I know that many young Black women do not have this opportunity. I want to honor them and the people, most importantly my parents, who made sacrifices to get me to this position by making the best film that I possibly can.

-Sol Green (Writer & Director)

My purpose for making SPIT comes from a need to tell a story that feels true, one that actually means something. For years, I poured myself into projects, thinking they would lead somewhere, that they would open doors or earn me recognition. But I kept running into the same truth: no amount of time, effort, or money can turn a weak story into a strong one. If it does not move you, it will not move anyone else.

That realization changed everything for me. I decided I was done creating for approval, popularity, or someone else’s idea of success. I wanted to make something that came from honesty and instinct, from the kind of passion that makes filmmaking feel alive again. SPIT is the result of that choice. It is raw, emotional, and deeply human, born from love rather than expectation.

When you truly care about the story you are telling, the process transforms. It stops feeling like a race for validation and becomes a search for truth. SPIT reminds me why I fell in love with filmmaking in the first place. It is about connection, about creating something that makes people lean in and feel something real. That spark, that moment of shared understanding, is what makes it all worth it.

SPIT is funny, sharp, socially relevant, and disturbingly plausible.

If you want to support a film that exposes the absurdity of tech culture and literally stomps on the hard drive of unchecked capitalism, this is the film for you.

Thank you for helping us make something bold, relevant, and deeply, stupidly human.
