About the project:
SMILE OR HUG is a dramedy that follows Trish, a 29-year-old art teacher, who’s going through a break-up during quarantine. We follow Trish’s journey as she struggles to put on a happy face for her students (who she now teaches over zoom) as she experiences profound loneliness while adjusting to her new, isolated reality. Smile or Hug is a film for our times; it’s relatable to anyone trying to make sense of their purpose amidst uncertainty and loneliness. Our film explores themes such as the need for self-care, addressing one’s mental health, and what it means to love and respect oneself. Smile or Hug has a lot of heart, and our goal is to make people laugh and smile - two things that are vital to getting by in an uncertain world.
