This short film was created for the 2016 48 Hour Film Project in Washington, DC. The genre - selected out of a hat - had to be either Romance or Slapstick (and the team opted for the former). In order to qualify as an official entry, the movie needed to also include the following three required elements: Clark or Claire Cumberland (who needed to be a musician or singer) as a character, a paint brush as a prop, and "She didn't tell me" as a required line of dialogue.
