Writer and Director Jon Garcia (The Falls Trilogy, Sex Weather, Tandem Hearts) along with stars Ian Stout (Crazy Night, Actual Reality) and Tiffany Groben (Y2K 2000, The Drunk Series) discuss their film Love in Dangerous Times a dark comedy about trying to make a connection through the state-of-affairs in the midst of the 2020 pandemic in Portland, OR.

Love in Dangerous Times was written and shot during the pandemic and deals with familial struggles, the desire to create, loneliness and the desire for love as the world continues to fall apart.

It is a beautiful film that was shot in a linear manner by Garcia, something that is quite rare to see these days in movie making, which allowed to have the feel and flow of a play in some instances.  The use of natural lighting in most scenes is really what gives the visual storying telling an added boost in something that could easily have been played for tongue-in-cheek purposes rather than an earnest movie with humorous elements during a period in history where the world feels as if it was going to end.

I spoke with Garcia, Stout and Groben about the film and how art imitates life, while life reflects on art.
