Speed Dating

2009 · 30 min

A darkly comic near-future satire that keeps you guessing with its absurd premise and brisk pace.

Overview: In a cold future world everybody who is single drops dead. Which means that Tim - who recently got dumped by his girlfriend - has a serious problem. None of the women he meets at a speed dating event strike a chord with him. His last chance is Denise - or better said a typo called Dennis. As to Tim being straight, hey, there's a pill for that. Or is there?
How it feels: Dark, satirical, absurd and romantic. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Isolation, identity, love, survival
