YOUR PLACE OR MINE
Dir: Jessica Joy Wise (Director will be in attendance for a Q&A)
Canada – 2012
Your Place or Mine is about the tentative first few hours of meeting someone. Annie and Danny meet, feel a spark, and it’s in those initial moments it could all go either way. These are big decisions determined by little moments; a glib comment, a simple gesture, a meaningful touch – can swing the outcome one way or the other. Short-lived lust or lasting love? One-night stand or soul-mate?
