In this dialogue-driven, "second coming of age" comedic drama, Felix has all but given up on his pursuit of becoming a filmmaker when he meets Stella, a down to Earth, chain-smoking cinephile, whose unexpected friendship inspires him to start writing again–and falling for her. Never hesitating to take steps outside of reality through the use of movies within movies, found footage and action sequences, Mountainside is also a love letter to film itself.

Avoids the manic pixie dream girl trope by being authentically about understanding the dynamics of relationships. Paul Rudd-esque charm, that perfect house party lighting, lots of Seattle the way I think of it- which is hazy yet incredibly niche and specific references to feeling a certain kinda way; like a bunch of your friends climbing into one of those cars where you have to manuever over the folded front seat, already kinda drunk and on your way to see a local band. 
Excited to see whats next (or work on it- you know ill drop anything for film work 😉) 
Not giving 5 stars to keep everyone humble lol
