ABOUT THE FILM
On the eve of her 25th birthday, Ellie Chiu stumbles across a letter she wrote at 15 — a list of everything she hoped to have accomplished by now. Rediscovering this in the midst of a career crisis, the discovery ignites a once dormant panic about unachieved milestones, especially over one glaring unchecked box: losing her virginity. With the help of her closest friends, Ellie goes on an emotional odyssey involving failed dates with strangers, missed connections, and unresolved childhood wounds — all before the clock strikes midnight.
Bright, playful visuals clash with the quiet dread of falling behind, capturing the messy journey into adulthood.
[This film is set to shoot in Los, Angeles, CA. October 2025]
