The Invention of Romance

By Conni Massing

Directed by Michelle Spanik
Produced by Michael Hannigan

Love can be tough to navigate at any age. 30-something Kate searches for the meaning of romance through a series of disastrous dates. Meanwhile, her long-widowed mother rekindles a relationship with a man she knew 60 years ago. This Rom-Com challenges the notions of love and romance.
