A young man navigates the weeds of dating apps while tending to his makeshift compost pile.
Get to know the writer:
What is your screenplay about?
My goal was to parellel new age dating with, kind of, urban farming or composting. With dating apps, intentions are often vague and can result in so many failed attempts. Often times you can find what you’re looking for without even lookingm in a more natural way. I tried to equate that to something that actually happened to me, when tomatoes started growing out of my own compost pile. Seemed like a fun little juxtaposition.
What genres does your screenplay fall under?
I guess romance and a little bit of comedy? I’d like to expand on this at some point and include more drama.
Why should this screenplay be made into a movie?
I think a lot of people would be able to relate given the oversaturation of dating apps and the dissociation that can accompany that, when the next person is just a swipe away.
