Love Is Blind
Love is Blind is a Short Romantic Comedy set in the bustling heart of Los Angeles, where dating is already a challenge. Chris, a cautious germaphobe—reluctantly agrees to a blind date set up by his best friend Bobby’s no-nonsense fiancée. To his surprise, his date is drop-dead gorgeous, and for a moment, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot. But what starts as a promising evening quickly spirals into chaos.
From clumsy mishaps to cringe-worthy misunderstandings, everything that could go wrong does. Chris, desperate to escape, tries to keep his composure, not wanting to disappoint Bobby and land him in hot water with his fiery fiancée. But the more he tries to salvage the night, the worse things get.
With a series of unexpected and hilarious twists, Chris finds himself in the most disastrous—and possibly most unforgettable date of his life.

Parneille Walker, born in New York and raised in Northern California. She has spent years shaping stories behind the scenes in various roles and most recently as a Post Production Supervisor. After graduating from California State University, Sacramento, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in TV & Film Production. Since then, she has contributed her talents to some of the industry's biggest studios, including CBS, Fox, CW, Warner Bros, Paramount, NBC Universal, MTV, ABC, and Disney. Her work spans acclaimed productions such as Poppas House, Grown-ish, Act Your Age, Mixed-ish, Black Lightning, House M.D., Lincoln Heights, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Now stepping into the director’s chair, Parneille is channeling her years of experience into crafting compelling narratives for the screen and embarking on an exciting new chapter in writing and directing. Her directorial debut, the short film "Love is Blind", marks the beginning of her mission to tell powerful, authentic stories featuring strong women and people of color—both comedic and dramatic.
Beyond film and television, Parneille is passionate about music and creative writing. When she's not immersed in storytelling, she enjoys soaking in the beauty of Southern California—whether it’s at the beach, hiking scenic trails, brunching with friends or dancing, she continues to embrace creativity in all forms.
I made the film Love Is Blind because the story captures the unpredictable, awkward, and hilarious moments of dating—where first impressions can be both crucial and misleading. Attraction can crumble in an instant, often because we judge too quickly.
Though comedic, this story is rooted in real experiences. We’ve all faced bizarre, unexpected moments in dating—I know I have. But beyond the laughs, it’s about something deeper: love’s undeniable pull, no matter how imperfect or unexpected.
As a filmmaker, I aim to tell authentic stories that reflect the humor, resilience, and depth of women and people of color. Storytelling has the power to entertain, connect, and inspire reflection. Whether through comedy or drama, I want my work to serve as a mirror—helping audiences see themselves, embrace life’s unpredictability, and find strength in adversity.
