The film’s script from writer and novelist Jennifer Archer was selected for the 2022 Nicholl Fellowship by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

The plot follows Nick (Hardung) and Fiona (Amarteifio), best friends who met in group therapy and are struggling to piece their lives together after experiencing loss. The synopsis reads: The last thing they need is to fall in love. When a weekend trip brings their deepening feelings to the surface, they might sooner cut each other off than face them.

The film will be directed by Jonathan Wright (Awakening the Zodiac) and will shoot in the UK. Producing are Aletha Shepherd and Jennifer Presser of production outfit Shot of Tea. Singer and actress Sabrina Carpenter had previously been set to star but we understand she is no longer attached to the project.
