@filmmakersconnect for showing all the love to WORST DATE, BESTDATE!
Getting this kind of recognition while I’m buried in year-end feature script deadlines definitely lights a fire under my ass 🎬💯🎬
It means the world that people are still finding and enjoying our small but mighty film we made a couple years ago. This cast and crew poured their hearts… and, yes, a few farts in it as well. I’m still over the moon about how it’s been received through the festival circuit. Forever grateful to this Cast & Crew! 🎬⚡🎬

TOP SHORTS REVIEW: Patrick Hilgart and Kim Perrin hit the perfect comic notes, and their chemistry crackles with frivolity and verbal daggers. They light up the screen with hilarious charm, delivering unabashedly funny performances that keep the audience thoroughly amused. Their back-and-forth banter, brazen quips, and outlandish comments - even punctuated by a few well-timed bodily “noises” - make every beat of their “worst date” feel like the best kind of rom-com magic. Their comic timing is spot-on, and their natural connection makes them a duo you can’t help but root for. Funny, heartwarming, and a total joy to watch, they truly are rom-com gold.
The film’s strength doesn’t rest on performances alone. Thrower and Turman’s writing spins the world of blind dating into something refreshingly biting and sharp, yet playful and silly at the same time. With witty exchanges, unexpected twists, and moments of sincerity woven between the chaos, the story captures both the absurdity and the honesty of two people navigating attraction, vulnerability, and fear of rejection. It is a sly romp that manages to be both outrageous and deeply relatable, a comedy that is just plain fun to watch from start to finish.
With its razor-sharp dialogue, irresistible chemistry, and an original story that keeps us laughing while tugging gently at the heart, Worst Date, Best Date turns a disastrous night into a story that is as hilarious as it is unforgettable.
