ABOUT SERIES
Hello Sunshine wants to highlight a new era of Rom Coms. The Meet Cute series spotlights 3 emerging women and non-binary filmmakers who each created a short film inspired by a real-life Bumble meet cute story, presented by Baileys.
People are craving a more modern take on Rom Coms - where the heroine knows her worth and is doing more than just stumbling through life looking for the perfect partner. They want a twist on the tropes, and they want their next batch of romantic comedies to be created by women and non-binary storytellers.
Carly is an award-winning commercial and narrative filmmaker based in Los Angeles. Carly’s first feature Suicide Kale, won the Audience Award for best first feature at Outfest 2016 and their short film Misdirection was an official selection for over 60 festivals worldwide.
Hello Sunshine - the story starts with you. New videos every month from Reese Witherspoon and guests. Visit our channel for more:

Hello Sunshine is dedicated to female authorship across all storytelling platforms, including film, television, books, social videos, and audio. The media company is founded by Academy and Emmy Award-winning actress, producer, and entrepreneur Reese Witherspoon.
We’re excited to connect women (and men) to narratives told from a distinctively female perspective. We want the growing Hello Sunshine community of creators and audience members to feel seen and heard. Whether our audience identifies with a character from our book pick or with the heroine (or villain) from our TV shows, or strikes up a conversation sparked by our videos, Hello Sunshine’s mission is to show women as the flawed and often complicated heroes of their own stories. Hello Sunshine - the story starts with you.

This so reminds me of when me and my other half got together….but I was in a small town in the middle of nowhere in England and she was living in NYC!! We’ve been together ever since…nearly 15 years!! Waking up with her is still the best part of my day 🥰❤️

[@arkmanevr2073]

Hi

[@jannafreudenberg1878]

Cute🥺

[@ShannonWoodwardLive]

angry they didnt let me keep the dinosaur costume tbh

[@edwardhulse]

Yeah! I mean that would have been awesome if they did let you keep it! 😊That video of you in the Dino costume was pretty funny! 😂

[@lovinangel02]

I dunno man, personally I'd be more upset about not being able to keep the creepy mannequin head...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@gpeck6005]

Hahahahahahha, good one

[@fruitleatherdaddy5204]

The people have spoken: More Shannon!!

[@russlokay]

A fun ten minutes. Looking forward to the first wedding episode...(more from these characters, please)

[@joshuadg78]

I had the joy and pleasure of being directed by Carly Usdin. She is phenomenal. As is this sweet and cute and powerful and moving story of love. Here is to Love. Here is to Carly. Here is to Reese. Great film.

[@childofartemis5410]

"I can't..My ex will be there." "Doesn't matter.One of them will be there" Love her ❤️

[@simplyagirl]

I mean...wow. This was amazing. What chemistry. *fans self*

[@goodgirlsgugudan6746]

Very cute! Love to see Shannon in nice projects like this 🙂

[@tobykhumalo3952]

By far one of my favorite short 🎥 When you wish it was a full on movie, you know it's a great piece of work.

[@JengiX]

I am all over this (and I am not a big fan of rom-coms) but it struck home for so many reasons!! Some very great lines that had me LOL for real!

[@edwardhulse]

I love this short film do much! I actually watched this live on Shannon Woodward’s twitch channel! It’s so impressive that this short film was made entirely in pandemic conditions!

[@Aurora7]

A wild Gaby Dunn appears!

[@Lesflicks]

"This is extremely gay" she says - and what's wrong with that might I ask? lol. Well done to Hello Sunshine, Carly Usdin, Baileys and Bumble on creating this fun, modern, female-centric romcom! Love it!

Rebecca, maybe Baileys is helping to pay for the production. Remember product placement in movies

Lol Im in the same situation, but I still never meet her in person

[@to_B_or_not_to_B]

I did this exact same thing once, ended up marrying her. Turns out she was a complete psychopath with borderline personality disorder and became pretty emotionally abusive so then I divorced her. Weddings are not good first dates people hahaha

[@thewunder-lusters9644]

So ... wait a minute. What happened next? ... my wife and I met, online, in 2004. I lived in Australia and she lived in Canada. We've been together ever since. :)
