“You Look Pretty Up Here” by Thom Hilton

Shortly after arriving at his parents' remote summer home for some much needed R&R, Elliot is interrupted by his ex-girlfriend May, who has broken into the house with the intention of processing their breakup before she moves out-of-state. Over coffee and donuts, the two decide to spend one final evening together, exploring the possibilities of what they've left behind and uneasily stepping into a future without each other.

FROM THE DIRECTOR

“You Look Pretty Up Here” is a gentle and patient romance about boundaries and forgiveness, inspired by films like Kogonada's  Columbus and Andrew Haigh's Weekend. Featuring ten original songs by Portland musician Jake Mackie, sumptuous cinematography by Isaac O'Farrell, and heartbreaking performances by New York theatre artist Monica Sanborn and street-cast newcomer Joshua Donohue. Filmed entirely on location in Rhododendron, Oregon.”
