Job Description
A student filmmaker is building a small, passionate crew for a character-driven indie romantic comedy. The story follows a tightly-wound financial analyst who makes a petty bet on a first date with an artsy filmmaker. What starts as a wager turns into a transformative journey as he learns that creativity isn’t just for artists—and maybe, just maybe, falls in love along the way.
