BLOCK PARTY
Our Debut Feature Length Romantic Comedy
A second chance at first love, if he can survive the block…
When his difficult, larger-than-life father dies heroically, JULIAN, (Lawrence Grimm), returns to Chicago to clean out his childhood home, list it, and be gone by Monday. Instead, the neighbors pressure him into stepping into his father’s shoes to orchestrate the legendary annual block party.
Still haunted by the catastrophic 1996 party, he refuses. Until he sees Melissa, the girl who broke his heart at the very same party thirty years ago. When she offers to team up Julian impulsively agrees, jumping at a chance to spend time with the love he never got over. One hitch though she’s engaged to Iggy, a pushy realtor vying for the listing on the house.
On the longest, hottest day of the summer he must face grill explosions, water balloon mayhem, and a one-on-one basketball showdown against his romantic rival. If Julian can make peace with his sister, win the hearts of the neighbors, and throw an epic glow foam dance party, he may just get a second chance at first love.
