Feature Synopsis:
“FateDate” is a Comedy/Romance film that takes place in a world where society has relinquished all complex social and behavioral interactions in the name of “the universe” - meaning people have grown to be accepting and avoidant. With that, our main characters- Roxi and Colby -find themselves testing the limits of what they perceive to be love, comfortability, and truth when they are accidentally paired and pressured to be together.
Comparative Films: “FateDate” can be compared to the following successful films:
Scott Pilgrim VS The World (2010) - “FateDate” shares a similar sensibility in comedy in wit. Like the 2010 film and other projects in Wrights portfolio, “FateDate” over exaggerates the circumstances of the world to emphasize its comedic moments and character development.
Palm Springs (2020) - it shares in the simplicity of the story and situation, while remaining as a series of engaging cascading events that feel almost otherworldly.
Crazy Stupid Love (2011) - “FateDate” explores modern sensibilities when it comes to notions of dating and relationships. Like “Crazy, Stupid, Love” - FateDate wants to discuss the pillars of “The pursuit of love”
