From the official press kit:
"Luke and Brie are on a first date, but the hazards of this term, and the
incessant need for casualness keep their evening ebbing and flowing
between flirtations and misunderstandings. For Luke, it’s a night filled
with questions and opportunities, if he can only keep Brie’s interest
away from three smarmy office workers, two hipsters with a pizza and
one “old friend”. Over the course of the date, the two will navigate
both the social jungle of Los Angeles and the complicated landscape
of attraction, leaving Luke and Brie both with a night they’ll never
forget. "

I saw Chad Hartigan's debut feature early this last winter. It's a film in the spirit of other lo-res indies like Quiet City and Mutual Appreciation but at the same time, has a feel all of it's own. The first thing that I feel sets it apart from a lot of the so called "mumble-core" generation films is that it's set in Los Angeles. Theres something interesting about seeing this kind of film take place in the land of Hollywood. You can feel the struggle more. I had this same sense, when I watch Amir Motlagh's "Whale".
'Luke and Brie' is a cool film, and leaves you feeling like you just hung out a hip dance party in Silver Lake.
I think the film allows you to participate in the director/writers retelling of a emotionally monumental and personal experience in his own life. The film relates to the basic misinterpretation's of romance and it's the self-inflicted anxiety that resonates with it's twenty-something audience and is a film for really anyone who wants to recall what it was like to meet the person they evenuatlly fell in love with.
