Director's Statement
For some people, starting a family feels like the natural culmination of love. For others, especially when you are young, broke, and still figuring out life, it can feel like the moment the ground shifts beneath your feet.
Plan B lives in that fragile space between romance and reality. It follows two young people deeply in love who suddenly face a life-changing decision before they are ready for it. When the future is uncertain and resources are scarce, even good intentions can lead to questionable choices.
Because the subject carries weight, I wanted the film to feel playful and alive. Humor and tenderness create room for the audience to laugh with these characters, worry about them, and maybe recognize a bit of themselves in their messy attempts to figure things out.
At its heart, Plan B is simply a story about young love colliding with real life.
The following story is absolutely true.
Except for the parts that aren’t.

BEHIND THE SCENES
"Plan B" was actually developed alongside Forgive Me Father, since they were both created as means of embracing financial limitations through building a story around one location, and in this case that was a trunk of a car. However, despite our efforts of making this a straightforward and easy shoot, Murphy's law is a real bitch.
“Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.”
We dealt with everything Murphy could throw at us. Below freezing temperatures, beached police vans, vanishing producers, being kicked out of our accommodations, getting locked out of location, and several other mishaps which we won't go into. But at the end of the day, we were kind of asking for it when we named the damn movie "Plan B."
