SYNOPSIS

Heather has just recently started college in southern California and misses her friends whom are attending college on the East Coast. A New York transplant in a strange new land, Heather has trouble putting herself out there and making new friends - and society’s cell phone addiction isn’t helping her cause. Little does she know that Angela, the owner of her favorite local coffee and sandwich shop, just might have the right recipe for helping her connect with another lonely heart.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

“A heartwarming film that reminds us that sometimes you just need to look up in order to find what you are looking for.”

SARAH CRAWFORD

The inspiration for this film came from observing my students’, peers’, and my own social behavior in regards to cell phone usage and addiction. I have studied and taught in many different schools across the United States and Italy and therefore I am very familiar with the process of making new friends in new environments. With the rise of smart phones, I have noticed significant changes in our daily human interactions and how prohibiting and distracting phones can be, especially when trying to meet people as a stranger in a new city. Though technology can help us connect in many ways, it can also cut us off from our surrounding environment – including those sitting right next to us. Human beings have not yet caught up to all of the changes and damages that cell phones have wrought upon the way we interact with one another. As a teacher, I am a firm advocate of not allowing cell phone usage during the school day. It is my hope that this film raises awareness about this serious social problem and encourages people of all ages to put their phones away and look up once in a while. I know that I need to remind myself to do that daily.

PRODUCER’S STATEMENT

“Film making is the dance between creativity and a fundamental human experience.”

MCKENNA RILEY

In a fast-paced, media focused and self absorbed world, It was so wonderful to focus on a project that is dedicated to community and connection. On this project I got the privilege to work with a talented group of students learning how to express themselves through the art of . For many of us, this was our first time making a film, but building on the experience of others, we worked together to create a sweet film about being out of one's comfort zone, and finding connection when being “disconnected”. This classic story is one that many of us experience at one point or another when we are far from home, or feeling lost in our lives. Our hope is that with a simple story we can remind all that as we step into an uncomfortable new territory, we can always rely on our fundamental humanity and need connection to stretch, learn, grow, and in turn find comfort again.
