Story
Often when people ask how best to describe my film, I've landed on the term "dark rom-com." I'm very fascinated with the intersection and the juxtaposition of the vibrant, crackling spark of a "boy-meets-girl" against the grittiness and paranoia of a crime thriller.
This idea informed every aspect of the film production process on Something Else Tonight: from the curated performances by the actors, to the meticulous fine-tuning of the color grade by Reneil Alcordo, to the construction of the film's original score by the incredible Scott Johnson.
Set against a nighttime filmscape inspired by the work of directors like Park Chan-Wook, Wong Kar-Wai, and Matt Reeves, Something Else Tonight explores the idea of loneliness, how one can lose themselves in the heat of unexpected passions, and how one seemingly insignificant decision (like calling out of work, per se) can alter the course of one's life.
We hope that in clicking play on our film, you'll feel the crackling tension of a new romance, will be on the edge of your seat as you wait in peril to witness the fate of Cade and Billie, will be stunned by the gorgeous cinematography, and, as our original title track by the artist Mira suggests, our film will "haunt your dreams, with buried memories."
