Written & Directed by Mason Vietti
Synopsis: After two polar opposite college students cross paths, they realize the best relationships don't have to come from common ground.
Statement from the director: Last summer I met someone named Tweed. She moved to Wichita for college in the fall and I was really the only person she knew, so she stuck around. As a friendship slowly formed, we came to realize we had absolutely nothing in common.

It stayed awkward for a bit, but over time those differences only led to our friendship growing stronger. The entire time, however, I could tell she was unhappy in Wichita. I tried showing her all of my favorite spots but she just never fell in love with it the same way I did. Eventually, she got accepted into another college for the spring.
We made the most of the time we had left. We’d run errands together, watch movies together, go to the RSC together, really just anything. She helped me learn to worry less and I helped her learn to smile more. But as winter break popped up, she had to leave. As we carried her things to her car I began
writing our story in my head.
While the film is a pretty close-to-heart depiction of the events, there’s still plenty of exaggeration. For instance, there was no romance between us like the one depicted in the film, but at its center it’s still Tweed and I. So please watch our story, dialed up to eleven. Thank you.
