TEA is an offbeat comedy about loneliness. Through the eyes of Nicholaus Steep (played by Michael Gandolfini), we watch the tenderness and bravery of a young man who is doing all he can just to connect with someone. When his bad luck turns worse, will the girl of his dreams (played by Olivia Nikkanen) be able to save his life?

TEA premiered at the Cannes Film Festival as the only U.S. film in competition. It has qualified for Best Short Film at the Nashville Film Festival, Tirana International Film Festival, Woodstock Film Festival, Palm Springs Shortfest, Tehran International and HollyShorts. It has qualified to be considered for the 2025 Oscars®.

While rehearsing asking out the girl of his dreams, a lonely and highly allergic Circuit-Shack employee gets stung in the throat by a hornet.
