Synopsis

Twenty-something Justine follows her boyfriend Zach (played by the director) to a new city when he gets a job programming an art-house cinema. But this change in scenery and being away from their previous routine and familiarity of home uncovers deep-seated problems and issues between the couple. A series of well chosen, slyly observed moments add up to a quiet and intimate portrait of a young woman on the brink of finding herself. A black and white film about the many shades of grey in any relationship. (Athens Avant-Garde Film Festival)

Notes

When I met my wife Justine, I had just finished making THE INTERNATIONAL SIGN FOR CHOKING and was traveling to a lot of film festivals. Even after that died down, I went to Hawaii for a month to help Nandan shoot HAWAIIAN PUNCH. My life revolved around my moviemaking hobby, and I wanted a way to include Justine. That's how and why I decided to make this movie.
The idea for the movie occurred to me in Hawaii. I spent the next few months writing it, and we shot it in Olympia that summer (2012). We were in no hurry, and were working around everyone's different schedules, so we wound up shooting throughout a series of weeklong periods with a week or two off in between. -- via Newhard Entertainment *a lot of great links here
