Comedy, Short Films, 31-Aug-2026
Stuck in Zoom meetings all day, a programmer daydreams about the stranger next door. Marissa Goldman directs “Max Distance,” a romantic comedy where questionable attempts to court a crush backfire. Erica spends most of her day sitting in work calls and watching slideshows for her remote job. In her periphery, a large window shows the world as it turns. She’s particularly infatuated with Nat, her neighbor across the street, and his everyday oddities—he mostly talks to himself and a Bearded Dragon named “Deirdre.” Distance makes the heart grow fonder, and Erica embarks on a spiraling scheme to make something between them spark. Her character’s questionable string-pulling aside, Anna Seregina is a treat to watch in Goldman’s endearing account of a romantic pursuit. -JM. Written/Directed by Marissa Goldman. Produced by Rachel Moss and Jack Fatheree. Starring Anna Seregina, David Brown, Jon Daly. Edited by Marissa Goldman and Jack Fatheree. Music by Pleaser. Executive Producer Andre Hirschler. DP Victor Ingles. Production Design Ellen Connaughton.
