While Christoper Landon’s Drop is giving you big screen first dates from hell right now, David Yorke’s Nervous Ellie offers an alternative on a smaller scale that is just as thrilling, if not more, with an ending you will NOT see coming.
Ellie (Kelsey Cooke) is a nervous dater. Like, incredibly nervous. Yet date Dani (Sophia Capasso) is sticking around despite the awkwardness. Despite Ellie’s constant trips to the bathroom. Despite the sweatiness. Despite even the nosebleeds. What will it take to break Dani? Will Ellie get a complete sentence out to Dani and not the bathroom mirror? There’s only one way to find out and that’s by catching Yorke’s clever take on the dating scene that’s a little sweet, a little sour, and a whole lot of fun thanks to the compelling performances from Cooke and Capasso who embody both sides of the, literal, table here.
Nervous Ellie recently had its’ Massachusetts Premiere at the 8th annual Salem Horror Fest. If you missed your chance, you can head here to find out when you might be able to see it next.
