Emphasis - Cool Apocalypse

Cool Apocalypse is a comedy/drama about modern love in the vein of Richard Linklater and Eric Rohmer. On a summer day in Chicago, Julie (Nina Ganet, Henry Gamble's Birthday Party) and Paul (Kevin Wehby) are a couple just beginning; Julie finally takes the first step to introduce herself to Paul and they immediately connect. At the same time, Paul's roommate, Claudio (Adam Overberg), and his ex-girlfriend, Tess (Chelsea David), bicker like an old married couple as they run errands to prepare her for a summer job in Italy. The two couples come together for a good-bye dinner for Tess, where one relationship blossoms while the other shatters.
