Short Film: Nice to Finally Meet You (2023)

Synopsis

Adam happily makes his way up a long, winding driveway leading to a stunning central Jersey lake house. He’s about to meet his girlfriend, Laurie’s, family for the first time and has made every effort to ensure that his first impression will be a lasting one.

But as the weekend unfolds, and Adam’s attempts to fit in fall increasingly short, the thinner the veil becomes between his fantasy and the Thompson Family’s terrifying reality.

Commentary

Adam seems way too old to be in this uncomfortable position, but that’s probably the least weird part of the story. There are many details missing, but we can fill in the blanks, which is the whole point. How did things get to this point? That’d be a full-length movie in itself.

It’s good!
