Quarantine Fling (Dark Wine Creatives/DGCBC) – Writer/Executive Producer

NATE SAMUELS (Kelsey Flowers) couldn’t be more excited for the mandatory lock down that was just announced. The government is going to pay him to just hangout at home and play video games? Count him in. However, when his overbearing Mother, SYLVIE (Nancy Robertson), and his aloof father, BILL (Brent Butt), insist Nate shouldn’t spend the quarantine alone, Nate has only one option — create a fake live in girlfriend using all varieties of social media tricks. Nate thinks he’s in the clear, until the lockdown lifts and his parents want to meet his obviously very real girlfriend JACQUELINE (Kazumi Evans).
