The crew from Plus 1s share a romantic story with an important message

It’s been awhile since we’ve featured a filmmaker, and this a great way to dive back into this world. Joining me to talk about their soon-to-be-screened short film “Plus 1s,” is Writer/Producer Liz Eng and Co-Directors David J. Curtis and Katelyn Grace Reddy.

 

“Plus 1s” is an independent, romantic-comedy short film featuring two best friends determined to find their plus-ones for their best friend’s wedding. This romantic-comedy embraces inclusivity, especially in celebrating WOC and the LGBTQIA+ community.

 

Liz, David and Katelyn talk about the story behind the film, shot over eight days, seven locations, a cast of 15 and crew of 35 (plus one dog!) and a budget of around $18,000. We look at the themes of inclusivity and the communities represented and why this was important to the creators. We also talk about the upcoming film screening, being held this Friday, June 23, at 7:30 p.m. at the Museum of Fine Arts. There will be a Q&A following the screening.

 

Also, this episode was on the short side, but we’ll be doing a more in-depth interview (or two!) in the very near future.
