Two best friends, one mysterious stranger, zero budget—shot entirely on an iPhone 7.
Just out of college, Abbey navigates a relationship with her troubled friend Jude who has recently been diagnosed Bi-Polar. Abbey is thoughtful and guarded while Jude is her opposite, an intoxicating catalyst who lives every day as if it is her last. Friends forever - or at least until the fateful day when they both meet the enigmatic Henry. Set against the cityscape of New York and the rural mountains of North Carolina and shot on an iPhone, the film offers a modern commentary on falling in love through the youthful gaze of the camera that we all carry around in our pockets.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Dunton shot the entire film on an iPhone 7 with a $15 lens attachment, making it one of the earliest feature-length iPhone films predating Soderbergh's Unsane.
The film captures a specific 2018 moment when 'phone footage' still felt transgressive rather than default—Abbey's guardedness reads differently in an era of constant self-documentation.
