Filmmaker Statement

Let's face it, love makes us batshit crazy. What drew me to Cory Stonebrook's hilarious script is its unusual love story -- between a woman and a ...piece of produce. Silly yet tenderhearted, Cory's writing has a unique ability to combine irreverant humor with grounded, human relationships interspersed with sweet moments -- a husband comforting his nervous wife over a guest's arrival, two sisters trying to find their way to reconcile after a decade apart. Being family involves compromise and acceptance, even if your family member insists they are in love with, as the character Brynn puts it, "a piece of fucking fruit."
