The Story
I Friggin Love You will be a series of vignettes that explore stories of love. Some take the love they have for granted, some search for it all of their lives, and in these times of swiping right and swiping left LOVE has become either a game or an unattainable. We want to get back to LOVE.
Our series will showcase authentic relationships and bring the conversation back to what's important: The love we have and The love we share.
We will take a look at not only romantic love, but love between parent and child, friendships, cyber love, family, and much more.
The Impact
The impact of this project is an important one. With this series, we hope to transform the conversation of love and relationships in all forms. We want to give everyone hope that meaningful relationships are possible in the modern world, and your contributions can help us get there.
