Director Statement

Dating and trying to find love in the 2020s is a whole different ecosystem, whether you're LGBTQIA+ or not.

This film is designed to capture a day in the life of a hopeless romantic who seems to have everything going for him, only to feel defeated and deflated putting himself out there.
