This is a classic fairytale of Guy meeting Girl and them totally doing it. But a shocking post-coital confession sends both of them spiraling into a chaotic mess of dating, confusion, ghosting, obsession, and, of course, late night booty calls.

Oh, Hey There!
Welcome to the Guy Meets Girl Seed&Spark campaign page. Stick around and take a look! Don't forget to watch the Proof of Concept in the Media section!
The Story of: Guy Meets Girl
I've been pitching this story to people by saying "It's like if Fatal Attraction met Scott Pilgrim". Our two characters have a one-night stand, as some people tend to do. Girl tells Guy afterward that she was a virgin before their little trist and asks if he wants to go out sometime. Guy - not wanting to come off as a jerk, agrees, but regrets the decision immediately. Feeling suffocated by Girl's texts and constant presence at their mutual friends' parties, Guy decides it's best to ghost. Feeling insane from all her unanswered texts, Girl goes to confront Guy - I mean, he said he wanted to go out with her, right? RIGHT?
This story is told from two different perspectives. Girl sees most of this movie as a romantic comedy, of course she and Guy are going to end up together at the end! That's how these things are supposed to go! Unfortunately for Guy, he's living out this story as a horror movie. Why can't Girl just take the hint and leave him alone?!
Our Characters:
GIRL (a.k.a. Chelsea)
(Pictured Left: Ellen Wong as Knives Chau in Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World | Right: Mindy Kaling as Kelly Kapoor in The Office) -- Character Prototypes
Girl is ready to have sex and to have her first real romantic relationship with someone, it doesn't even really matter with who...even though it probably should; it's not that she's clingy, it's not that she's insane, she's just tragically (but endearingly) an ingenue.
GUY (a.k.a. Noah)
(Pictured Left: Lakeith Stanfield as Cash Green in Sorry to Bother You | Right: Mark Webber as Stephen Stills in Scott Pilgrim Vs The World) -- Character Prototypes
Guy is just waiting for a girl (any girl) to ask to go home with him...so they can bang; overall, he wants for very little; he enjoys getting high with his bandmates and hopes that their band, Snake Piss, will continue to get local gigs so they can drink for free; he is forever young.
OTHER CHARACTERS: Randy, Boring Dude, Hot Girl (Yes, I got really creative with names here) , And some featured extras
The World : Guy Meets Girl
Both Guy and Girl see their world as bright and colorful and vivid! They are living (or trying to) their best lives EVER! However, when the parties are done and they're back home by themselves, that's when we realize that they're just like anyone else living in a bland and unsexy reality.
What We Need
Below is a basic breakdown of our budget.
Since Ashley and I both come from the world of Television Production, we really want to make sure Guy Meets Girl is produced as above board as we possibly can.
On top of the normal Equipment Rental, Food, and Transportation needs, we want to compensate our team for their time and hard work as well as get insurance and any proper permits (if needed).
Other Ways to Get Involved
We really appreciate whatever monetary contribution you're able to send our way. If you are determined to help out more, one thing you can do is help us promote this project on any social media platform you have. Or, even better - if you're ever talking to a person face to face and the topic of awkward one-night-stands or indie short movies come up, you can mention us that way too!

Current Team
About This Team
Cassie and Ashley met many moons ago (about 3 years worth of moons) in the production office of an ABC show. They were both PAs. One, a production office PA, and the other, a set PA.
They continued to work in TV production, but wouldn't reunite again until June 2019! That's when Ashley read Cassie's script for Guy Meets Girl and eagerly agreed to help produce it!
Cassie: Writer/Director/Editor
Born and raised in southeastern Wisconsin, Cassie was the youngest of eight siblings. Yes. Eight. Since it's difficult to do anything new to impress your parents after seven other people have already done it - she decided to leave the freezing cold Midwest for Sunny SoCal to work in Film and TV like her older brother. After years of procrastination, meandering, and milling about - she got so bored of saying 'yeah, I've got an idea I'm working on...still writing it though' that she decided to seriously start writing and producing her own work.
She is determined to get into a directing fellowship program and add her voice to the growing group of up-and-coming writer/directors of her generation.
Her previous production experience includes: How to Get Away With Murder, Transparent, Vice, Euphoria, The Kids Are Alright, The Kominsky Method, Twenties, etc.
Ashley: Producer/1st Assistant Director
Ashley is a writer, producer, and production assistant with B.F.A. in Creative Producing from Chapman University’s Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. Raised in Pleasanton, California, she’s aspired to work in film and television since age fourteen. Her previous work as a producer includes short films Harold! and One Bad Day. She’s passionate about telling stories that challenge the way people think, and ones that often involve superheroes, first responders, LGBTQ+ characters, and found families. When she isn’t working, you’ll find Ashley baking, taking photos of her friends, or watching a Brie Larson movie marathon.
Her previous production experience includes: How to Get Away With Murder, Station 19, GLOW, Speechless, Everything's Gonna Be Okay, Teachers, and Twenties
Adrian: Director of Photography
Ever since he was little, film was a major part of Adrian's life. He can’t recall a single day that he wasn’t watching movies. It became evident that he did't want to do anything that wasn't filmmaking. He gradually went from being an avid moviegoer to being a full-time filmmaker, and after a decade of being in the industry, he can safely say that he's just getting started. Film Currency is his production company, with services varying from weddings, music videos, short films, concept trailers, and behind -the-scenes featurettes. Oh, and if you engage him in conversation, you best be ready to play trivia because he has quite a mindset for movie nostalgia!
His previous cinematography experience includes: Button Fly, #GradGirls, Assassins Web, Juni & David, Less Than Human, A Rum Story, Rycon Vampyre, and so many more of the things!
