The Sympathy Card is a feature length lesbian romantic comedy about life, death, and bad first dates.
Directed by Brendan Boogie. The film stars Petey Gibson, Nika Ezell Pappas, Lauren Neal.
When Emma’s cancer takes a turn for the worse, she presents her new wife Josie a deathbed order: find someone new while Emma is still around to approve of her choice.
Reluctantly, Josie embarks on a painfully awkward pursuit to honor Emma’s wishes and play the field. After many hilarious failures, Josie finds herself developing feelings for Siobhan, her free-spirited florist.

05 Jun 5 Apps For A Successful Location Scout
Experienced filmmakers know that planning is key to an efficient shoot. These apps can help you gain valuable information about locations so you can be better prepared when it’s time to roll.
1. Sun Scout 9.99
Location scouts are all about planning. Sun Scout shows you the hourly trajectory of the sun in a given location. You can adjust the date and see where the sun will be on your shoot day.
2. pCam 29.99
PCam is loaded with tools for filmmakers. The Field of View tool is essential for making sure you have the right lenses in your kit. Select from hundreds of cameras, aspect ratios (even film cameras!), and lenses and preview your shot without needing a stand in. This app has features you’ll use on set as well like a DOF (Depth of Field) calculator.
3. Artemis Pro 29.99
A digital Director’s Finder! With this app DP & Director can get on the same page about shots during the location scout. Don’t have this app? Even a dslr or iphone camera can help you plan shots with your director. Just look at the image together and endless shot discussion will ensue.
4. Cine Meter II 24.99
Film purists will use a real light meter on set but this is a great app for quickly checking light levels. You can also use the light meter on your DSLR in a pinch. It won’t be perfect but it should help you decide how much light you need to add to the space.
5. LightSpectrum 1.99
Get a color temp reading on those funky overheads, then decide to replace them. Quick word of warning, take these readings with a grain of salt, the app is not as accurate as a $1500 Sekonic Meter but it provides some useful Kelvin readings to help you balance your lighting.
