Plot[edit]
A timid young man chronically suffers from social anxiety. At a party, an unlikely encounter inspires a night of drinking, joy and romance.
Development[edit]
"I remember thinking about two people walking down a street drunk and wanted to put a hypothetical story behind it. We also tend to have a stigma against young adults drinking. I think lots of movies portray younger generation drinkers as irresponsible and reckless. I thought it would be nice to show it as a celebration once again and put some delight into that rather than the darker takes on the topic. I was a young drinker and didn't have much recklessness going around. I wanted to bring those feelings I had on screen." - Pat Mitchell[2]
Production[edit]

The film was shot with no permits involved. The minimal guerrilla production took place in neighbors of Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres & Punta Gorda (Southwest Florida) between 11pm - 2am. Deeply inspired by Neo-Noir and French New Wave, it explores themes of social anxiety, missed connections, growing pains, positive alcohol consumption, friendship, love, love, empathy, women's empowerment, good consciousness and much more.
