Logline​​
Harry, a bisexual man, seeks authentic connection on two dates— one with a man and one with a woman.​

​Synopsis​
Autumn Serenade is a romantic dramedy short film about Harry, a bisexual man, as he searches for connection on two dates—one with a man and one with a woman. Set against the autumnal backdrop of New York City and the Hudson Valley, this heartfelt and surrealist story explores difficulties with modern dating through the perspective of a bisexual man.
Director’s Statement​
I wanted to tell a story that reflects some challenges faced by bisexual men in the modern dating space—a perspective I rarely see portrayed on-screen authentically. Autumn Serenade is a deeply personal film. With the project, I hope to spark discourse around the intersection of bisexuality and masculinity in the modern dating scene.
