Director Statement

I have a background in improv comedy, so I wanted to create a film which portrayed the specific culture of college improv while showcasing what happens to someone when they have to perform a scene after receiving very terrible news. There is a comedic irony in someone trying to be funny on-stage after learning that their boyfriend cheated on them, and then discovering they have to do a scene with the other woman as well. College improv has a lot of people dating each other, and sometimes people do scenes with their exes or people they don’t like, so I wanted to play with the comedy of people being forced to do a scene together at the worst possible moment.
