A short romantic comedy about lovers moving in together with an ugly magical lamp.
Marilyn Sanabria as Dina and Amir Kovacs as Ira in the fantasy romantic comedy.
Listen to review comments by Mikel Fair, director of the Georgia Comedy Film Festival.

Dina (Marilyn Sanabria) and her boyfriend Ira (Amir Kovacs) move in together when a disagreement erupts. Love should inspire compromise, right? At least until an ugly magical lamp becomes more than just a light, but the flame that could light their relationship on fire. Sheldon Schiffer directs this romantic comedy with visual effects that provide a touch of absurdist fantasy.

We want to premiere our film in your town and appear with the film. If your festival is near a major airport or in a fun town to visit, all the better. The actors, director and crew love to travel and we speak a lot of languages. Spanish, Hebrew, Portuguese, Vietnamese and English. We can share stories and tell (bad) jokes to pay our way.
