When a sheltered young man hears about his ex-fiancee dating again, his good-hearted attempt to sabotage her date and win her back quickly spirals out of control.
Written and directed for a semester project, 3rd Degree Love was shot in the November of 2017. Spawning from treatment for a feature I had written earlier in the year, I adapted it into a short that could be produced over a semester.
A dark comedy, the short explores the lengths that one would go for love and the damage that can be left in the wake of its pursuit.
