Love can be a sublime and boundless emotion but can be difficult to obtain. The struggles in this program prove to be no exception as the filmmakers utilize the gorgeous sets of Rock Garden, the offbeat comedy of California King, and the musical stylings of Damn the Past! (Best Narrative Short) in an effort to strike that powerful emotional chord.
