Taking on herself to help Michael through his sorrow, Eve turns Michael’s plans of a melancholic journey into a cinematic voyage, visiting cult film locations for Michael to create new memories and leave his ex-partner behind. From California to Colorado, from Basic Instinct to The Shining, they learn about themselves, each other and live in the present.

Happiness? (A tragically autobiographical web-comedy)

Looking for Love in all the wrong places is a speciality of mine. And in cities like Sydney, being single, gay and over 45 usually means you’ve reached your emotional used-by date to start a relationship. Unless you’re ready to become a Sugar Daddy, that is.
Distressing? Certainly. Discouraging? Maybe.
But for Mikey, 45 and gay, there has to be a way. He will find love. He has to. Even if it’s simply to shut up Brianna, his sister-in-law nagging him about bringing a Significant Other to her approaching weeding.
