Private Project

How to Fall

When Gia is depressed about the fantasy life everyone on social media seems to be living except for her, she decides to take a chance and meet a man off of a dating app. While the date begins disastrously, it takes a turn when they both make a pact to take a chance on love. They decide to embark on a formula designed to make two strangers fall for one another. The film takes place over one magical dream-like night that pushes them out of their comfort zones and changes everything they believed about falling in love.
