ABOUT THE FILM:
At an engagement party for mutual friends, Charlie and Harper seemingly meet for the first time. But when a specific song sparks old memories, their complex history is revealed. Through flashbacks from both perspectives, their story unfolds—from what first brought them together to the choices that led them to where they are today. Retracing the highs and lows of their relationship, Charlie Harper explores love, ambition, identity, and personal growth, asking what happens when two people deeply connected to one another begin growing in different directions.
ABOUT MAC ELDRIDGE:
Mac Eldridge is a New York-based filmmaker whose work across narrative and commercial filmmaking combines genre storytelling with a deeply human perspective.
