First Date (2021) is a ‘It all happened on one night’ comedy thriller that had a fantastic reception at Sundance 2021. Starring newcomer Tyson Brown and produced by Lucky McKee (The Woman, The Man Who Killed Hitler then The Bigfoot, Tales of Halloween). Shy high-schooler Mike finally summons the courage to ask out his badass neighbor Kelsey, only to realize he’s missing a key element for a successful date - the car. Panicked and low on cash, he’s conned into buying a beat up ‘65 Chrysler. Mike's plan to win over Kelsey soon turns into a surreal misadventure when they are inexplicably targeted by a pair of cops, a criminal gang, and a vengeful cat lady.

A night fuelled by desire, bullets, and burning rubber makes any other first date seem like a walk in the park. In this perfectly executed throwback thrill ride, directing duo Manuel Crosby and Darren Knapp deftly weave together elements of dark comedy, teen romance, shoot 'em up action and classic coming-of-age story, creating a truly entertaining ride that never misses a beat. This refreshing mix of tones, coupled with a break-out performance from Tyson Brown as Mike, make FIRST DATE a truly outstanding first feature. The deal was agreed between Ryan Kampe for Visit Films and Steve Davey for 101.
