Sharayu Mahale  x  Chris Leary

Harkening back to the apartment movies of the 1970s, "Footnotes" is the story of neighbors and near total strangers, Will and Apurna. When they begin spending lockdown together in the wake of the 2020 pandemic, what starts as a platonic convenience quickly develops into something much, much more. But when a solo trip home to her small New England town puts a strain on their newfound connection, Will and Apurna are forced to reckon with what they mean to each other. Are they friends? Lovers? Or just another forgotten footnote?

 

Chris Leary's Footnotes is currently in post-production and is scheduled for festival release in Fall 2022. It is the first feature film produced by Box Party Films and Something to Say Productions.
