Director Statement
This is a true story that is roughly based on my own experiences but I think have happened, in one way or another to many. The vision was to create a film that will be watched as one continuous moment that makes us routing for the couple to stay together like a good romantic comedy but also give a twist to the well known genre. Working with a tiny budget was challenging but also kept us focused on the story, keeping it in one location and as realistic as possible although it's a crazy comedy. I think the combination helped to keep the heart in the right place and create an engaging experience for the viewer.
