There's A Girl in My Room

On a lazy afternoon, Jacob (24) fumbles with an IKEA lamp while his girlfriend Melissa lies on his bed, watching. What should be a simple task becomes an escape from the deeper cracks in their relationship, his sexual anxieties and her need for connection. Meanwhile, in the living room, Jacob's mom, Donna, and brother, Tyler, spar with each other as they all try to awkwardly console a family friend, Laurie. In a mix of dry humor and raw emotion, Jacob is forced to face what he's been avoiding. Tackle his problems head-on, rather than hiding. There's A Girl In My Room is a nuanced observation of intimacy, avoidance, and the everyday comedy of family life.
