This Town

Comedy - 2020 - New Zealand - English - 91 minutes

Sean and Casey are a typical budding couple in a small town in New Zealand.  They met via an app, and one date has led to another, and are slowly introducing each other to their friends.  There is one problem:  Sean is widely presumed to have murdered his whole family.   While Sean has to deal with a suspicious town, a dogged but bumbling sheriff, and an overzealous tabloid reporter, he wants nothing more than to prove his love to Casey by legally proving his innocence.  This is a darkly hilarious and deeply felt film about modern romance from first time writer, director, and star David White.
