Director Statement

I once met a guy online and I was worried he was going to kill me - paranoia took over. Luckily he didn't kill me, and I ended up marrying him! This inspired me to make a short comedy about the pre-hook up anxiety we all have. You never know who is waiting behind closed doors!

What I loved most about working on this project was the diversity of the cast and crew. Everyone involved in Date Prep identified as either LGBTQ+ or allies, and we had a blast!
