Lee Plenty is an almost broke would-be novelist and Havilland Savage is a rich and very beautiful woman and his friend. When she invites him to her home for New Year's Eve, they start to build up a romance.
Writing
Dialogue so sharp it cuts through the micro-budget.
Acting
Cherot's self-directed lead is all nervous energy and wounded pride.
Director
Christopher Scott Cherot
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot for $65,000, this became the first self-distributed Black rom-com to reach theatres nationwide — Sundance didn't pick it up, so Cherot did it himself.
The Leigh Darling subplot mirrors Cherot's real romantic history, making Lee's jealousy uncomfortably autobiographical.
