- TriviaIn a 2013 interview with Interview magazine, Daniel Schechter spoke about why he made the main characters editors: "I needed these guys to work together to have a place where they could essentially b***h about their significant others. I chose editing because I come from an editing background, and I thought it was a bit of an unsung hero in the filmmaking process. I thought maybe I could make this movie more about editing, more than a movie about making movies. Modern Romance (1981) is a massive influence on this movie, where Albert Brooks plays a film editor going through a personal crises."
- Quotes
Liana: You get so defensive.
Darryl: Baby, how can you say something offensive like you just said to me and expect me not to get defensive?
Liana: You just don't see possibilities.
Darryl: What does that mean, baby? You keep saying that. I don't know what that means, all right? Every other night you're cuming two or three times...
Liana: Darryl. Shh. Keep your voice down.
Darryl: And the one time I'm a minute man, you act like it's affecting our relationship or something.
Liana: Don't talk to me like that.

It was the best fiction film there – very funny, fresh dialog, and tightly edited. Alex Karpovsky plays the central character, and is a great new (to me) talent. He and Tarik Lowe (also co-writer with director Daniel Schecter) have a chemistry that compares well with the greats.
While it's ideal for people who love the movie-making process, anyone will like this. The guys are co-editors of an independent film, trying to save it while the director works out his neuroses mostly off-screen. (Kevin Corrigan seems -- based on his post-screening appearance -- more than a bit nuttier in real life than his character.)
Really hope it gets distribution.
