🎬 Project Love and Film 

Genre: Young Adult Contemporary Romance

Set in a prestigious New York film and arts school, Project Love and Film follows two rival student directors who are forced to work together on a Valentine’s Day film project. Liora Hale believes in structure, control, and stories that follow the script. Kai believes in feeling, instinct, and moments that can’t be planned. When their creative differences clash, so do their ideas of love.

Everything changes when a heated argument between them is accidentally recorded and goes viral, turning them into the school’s most talked-about “couple.” To protect their project—and their reputations—they agree to fake date. What starts as an act slowly becomes something neither of them can control.

This story explores the line between what is real and what is performed, set against the backdrop of filmmaking, late-night rehearsals, and a project that begins to mirror their own story.

✨ Tropes & Elements:

• — Rivals to lovers
• — Fake dating
• — Forced proximity
• — Film school setting
• — Opposites attract (control vs chaos)
• — Slow burn romance
• — Viral fame / social media pressure
• — “This wasn’t in the script” moments

At its heart, Project Love and Film is about discovering that love doesn’t always follow direction—and sometimes, the best stories are the ones you never planned to tell.
