In Search of a Midnight Kiss is a rollicking comic ride and tender journey though love, sex, and modern romance in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve.

WILSON (Scoot McNairy), a twenty-nine-year old guy who has just had the worst year of his life, is new to Los Angeles, has no date, no concrete plans and every intention of locking the doors and forgetting the last year ever happened. That is until his best friend, Jacob (Brian McGuire), browbeats him into posting a personal ad on Craig’s List. When Vivian (Sara Simmonds), a strong-willed woman hell bent on being with the right guy at the stroke of midnight responds, a chaotic, sometimes hilarious, sometimes touching journey through the black and white streets of L.A. begins. In the waning hours of the year, emotional vulnerability and bitterly honest humor seem to be waiting around every corner.

“To praise the beauty of this film is not enough; what lends it tension is that it’s wrapped around people for whom beauty is at best an anachronism and at worst an embarrassing joke.” – Anthony Lane, New Yorker

“In Search of a Midnight Kiss isn’t a homage or a recycling job. It’s a film with its own organic existence, its own reason for being. It is ultimately a very true and moving story.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

“In Search of a Midnight Kiss is wonderfully romantic and romantically bittersweet. It’s not about forever; it’s about now.” – James Berardinelli, ReelViews
