Kip Polyard is safe from viruses, bacteria,
and every infectious agent known to man.
Except one.
Kip Polyard (Robert Gomes) suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder and hasn't left his rent-controlled Manhattan apartment in 10 months. When Celine (Leslie Kendall), a beautiful young woman, moves in next door, Kip finds himself in an unlikely romance.
But trouble arrives in paradise when Celine's ex-boyfriend Andy (Frank Deal) shows up. Can Kip and Celine's burgeoning romance survive Andy's anger and jealousy? And is Celine harboring a secret of her own?
Body/Antibody is a dark comedy from LeisureSuit Media.

"A Beautiful Body -- Flick gets big results from shoestring budget" from FFWD Weekly (Calgary, Canada)

Very nice feature article from Elizabeth Chorney-Booth in FFWD. It opens: "A visually stunning low-budget movie is a rare find.

Review from Est.hu [in Hungarian]

This online magazine hails the movie as "an entertaining, smart and funny black comedy", and reports on co-director Kerry Douglas Dye's appearance at the festival: "Kerry Douglas Dye appeared at the screening and was very funny; with his perpetual motion and expressive arm gestures he totally came across totally as a T.V. evangelist ... it is the combination of director and movie together that will provide a lasting great impression at the open screening on Friday."
