At an age when everyone around them is settling down and finding love, Beck ( Renée Felice Smith) and Liam (Matt Bush) are self proclaimed loners, emotionally hibernating through adulthood. After bonding over their mutual disinterest in relationships, they decide to go away together on a 'friend' trip. And that's when things get weird. Really, really weird. Featuring hands-on practical effects, dynamic storytelling, and one very charismatic puppet, THE RELATIONTRIP marks the feature directorial and writing debut of Renée Felice Smith (NCIS: Los Angeles) and C.A. Gabriel (film and television composer). The duo combine their unique voices with fresh innovation to subvert romantic tropes and craft a story that is as playfully heart-warming as it is cleverly surreal.
A wicked spin on the often played-out world of indie romantic comedies, The Relationtrip packs every conceivable genre trope into a neat 90 minutes, and then happily upends them.
