The Meet-Cute

An aspiring screenwriter teams up with the girl next door to learn the rules for writing the perfect rom-com. But can they avoid the biggest cliche of all: falling in love?

Starring Mackenzie Crook and Rosie Cavaliero.

When his agent threatens to leave him, an emerging horror writer makes one last bid for success.

He teams up with the girl-next-door to write in a genre entirely unfamiliar to him - the romantic comedy. For her, rom-coms are a guilty pleasure: she literally keeps them in her closet.

Can they together find the perfect receipt for successful film-writing, or will they find themselves trapped in the middle of a romantic-comedy cliché?
