Perfect

The idea of Perfection is an interesting one to me because it takes up many shapes and forms. Perfection for one person doesn't mean perfection for another, but in today's society, it sure feels like we use a criteria that deems nearly everyone imperfect and not in a good way. We are surrounded by the judgement. With the help of dating apps, cellphones and other amazing technology, we have the ability to swipe on each other, to go on dates, and to quickly move on when we find out someone puts chocolate milk in their Kraft Dinner!

 Three years ago, this film was written out of sheer annoyance for yet another failed attempt at dating and, over the years, grew into something that not only dealt with our individual perception of Perfection, but also how society can influence it. Not only have I noticed my own desire for the absolute best (in comparison to others), I feel like most people now walk around with that attitude instead of looking within and figuring out what our specific needs and desires really are. This leads to artificial (and usually physical) relationships that have no substance to them. Getting to know our summer flings or winter cuffing partners can be a scary process because it means learning the intricate details that makes the person human and unique. More often than not one wrong detail can end what once was a burning love, thanks to our ability to quickly move on.

 I hope you enjoy this film as much as Aiden and I do. It is the first time we have made a film with a genuine theme that we care about. With that, we feel it is even more worthwhile to take our chances on festivals. We hope that we can have as many people see this film as possible because, although it's not Perfect, we sure love it all the same!
