Outdoor Seating

Director’s Notes: A Meet Cute Rapidly Descends Into a Quagmire of Modern Day Relationship Hell in William Kenton’s ‘Outdoor Seating’

I think people might have different hopes for dating and new slang lifted on top, but it’s all the same will-they-won’t-they fun! I think there’s been a lot of progress and it’s exciting to try to free yourself from tradition and oftentimes lose your balance. I read the book On Marriage by Devorah Baum, and there’s a quote from it that stuck with me: “A cynic is a romantic trying not to be.” When I saw that I knew it was true, and got so bummed that I had to figure out what it meant.
