Nice To Finally Meet You

Adam meets his girlfriend, Laurie's, family for the first time over Sunday brunch. But as the meal unfolds, we realize things aren't as they seem. Adam isn't her boyfriend after all. He's an obsessed sociopath that orchestrated a sadistic, pretend tea time with his victims to simulate his ideal date. With her brother, father, and mother seemingly dead, will Laurie escape the clutches of her obsessor or become his final victim?

Director Statement

“Nice To Finally Meet You” blurs the line between delusion and reality within the mind of our mentally ill antagonist, Adam, as he attempts to enjoy brunch with his prospective in-laws.

Adam has spent his life lusting after the privilege that comes with being a member of the upper class. His desperation to climb the social ladder has reached its tipping point, deciding to accomplish his goal by any means necessary — especially bloodshed and violence.

Our female protagonist, Laurie, has to overcome the evil that has invaded her home. The repugnant acts committed by Adam have awoken her primal survival instincts, driving her to fight for her life with any and every tool at her disposal.
