World Premiere Nathan Adloff takes a darkly humorous look at co- habitating and conversing in hopes of copulating in Untied Strangers, his directorial debut. Wes (Joe Swanberg) is a struggling artist whose artistic process is tied up in processed food, and his roommate Dale (Noah Blair) has a better handle on his Wii than women. In hopes of a hookup, both meet up with the ever-hopeful Amy (Mary Sohn) and her introverted sister June (Emmi Chen) - also roommates. The online- initiated blind date proves an awkward outing for the four until Dale suggests they each share a story from their lives. The increasingly sardonic exercise mocks the lengths to which some strangers will go in hopes of becoming intertwined.

Filmed in two days with a budget under $300 and many of the actors found through MySpace, this largely improvised short proves the point that life is funniest when it's happening to someone else.
