A short film titled "Pink Grapefruit" by from director Michael Mohan which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January of this year, and went on to win a jury award at South by Southwest in March.
The story: A couple (played by Matt Peters and Nora Kirkpatrick) arrange a blind date of sorts in Palm Springs for mutual friends (Wendy McColm and Nathan Stewart Jarrett)… and, well, things happen.
Director Mohan and co-screenwriter Chris Levitus’ intent here was to freshen up a simple, familiar premise with a slightly disorienting end-product. Did they succeed? Sundance and SXSW certainly think so.
You decide…
