What’s funnier than romance antics? We present THE DATE

Synopsis: When Ben Roy sets up his roommate, Rob Gleeson on a blind date with his friend, Rob quickly discovers that true feelings sometimes make themselves known in unusual ways.

Director: Ben Simkins

Laugh Track: How much time and energy did you spend making the movie?

Ben: Two days of shooting and three days to coax Ben Roy out of the car and on to set once in full makeup.
