DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

This short film will be something relatable for anyone who has ever dated. The short film will look like an actual video game. high key lighting. surreal set design. ostentatious wardrobe. The short will serve as a proof of concept for a feature. The feature comp is similar to the likes of high fidelity. A longer version that goes into more depth about the four characters and their intertwined and hilariously turbulent dating lives.

It’s gon be cool.
