Synopsis
From emerging, award-winning filmmaker Alex Holdridge and the producer of Before Sunrise and Dazed and Confused, In Search of a Midnight Kiss is a funny and bittersweet look at love, sex, and modern romance. With an unsold script, no concrete plans, and a love life reduced to getting caught in compromising positions (alone!), a twenty-nine-year aspiring writer, Wilson (Scoot McNairy) just had the worst year of his life. That is until his best friend, Jacob (Brian Matthew McGuire), browbeats him into posting a personal ad for New Year’s Eve on Craig’s List. When Vivian (Sara Simmonds), a sexy, sarcastic, and seemingly blind-date-from-hell responds, the two strangers embark on an unexpected, chaotic, and hilariously awkward journey through the black-and-white streets of Los Angeles hoping to meet the right one before the stroke of midnight. “Strikingly original…funny…uncommonly bright and realistic, a fact that gives me renewed hope for the future of so-called independent cinema,” proclaims critic Andrew Sarris in _The New York Observer.
