Director Statement

I was inspired to make Bright & Enthusiastic by the outcomes that a blind date has including all the fears, discomforts, and feelings of meeting a complete stranger. I wanted to make a film that could relate to anyone that has been on a date before and capture two distinct personalities and their own take on the situation.
