Why Watch? After Valentine’s Day and the launch of our Dating Site For Movie Fans, it seems only fitting to feature Joops Fragale‘s Date Night. Try to pretend like the director’s name doesn’t already have you interested. In this dreamy trip of a short film, a Tennessee-throated young woman applies a magazine perfume sample and finds a stranger in her house who seduces her with movie lines. The two then float through the elements of their date, but nothing gold can stay. The story takes chances and manages to include elements of horror, romance, comedy and, well, just about everything in between. Definitely one of a kind and worth a look. What will it cost? Only 14 minutes. Skip Work. You’ve Got Time For More Short Films.
