What do you do when love knocks at your door? You take a chance knowing that it may not always come true… but then again… maybe it will! What We Don’t Say is a love story about chance…

Ben is an aspiring cartoonist working in commercial video production to survive. He is also recovering from a recent breakup. Lost in self doubt, he dreams of meeting someone special.

Finally, through chance, Ben meets the vivacious and free-spirited Juliette. They form an instant connection, but Juliette has plans of her own…to move away… Regardless, the two decide to spend time together while they can, and as their love for each other grows in intensity, their time dwindles.

With a touch of “You’ve Got Mail” embedded, Ben and Juliette’s story does not stand alone. The film is intricate and multi-layered, presenting many of the sub-themes that challenge a group of 20-something friends finding their way: the complexities of loneliness within a group, the comradery among men, the friendship between women, the interaction amid the genders and the tug of potential gay love all play a role within the story’s arc.

It is however the relationship between Ben and Juliette that take center-stage, a relationship that draws you in as it does the two of them.
