Comedy, Short Films, 30-Sep-2024
A first date in L.A. becomes a battle of hidden identities. “Getting to Know You,” directed by Alex Cantorious, is a charmingly lo-fi look at the afternoon meet-up of a woman claiming to be American and a man claiming to be British. Waiting for Adam to arrive, Greta rehearses in her head how she’ll introduce herself. When Adam arrives, his British accent is a surprise. From the edge of the reservoir, they head over to the dog park for more chit-chat, but when Adam takes a quick phone call, his British accent suddenly disappears leaving Greta forced to reveal her own truths. The simple approach highlights a breezy back-and-forth between two quirky characters in the mode of a DIY rom-com. -JM. Director: Alex Cantouris. Cast: Florence Roberts, Nate Pringle. Writer: Florence Roberts. Sound: Ben Woods.
