Think dating is hard? Meet Camille. Camille isn't held back by "high standards" or "common sense" when it comes to choosing a mate. She'll try to make things work with just about anyone – including a serial killer. Things never seem to work out for her, and yet she remains an eternal optimist.

Mission Statement

This project is written, directed, and produced by women, and features actors from a range of backgrounds. Inclusion is an important part of our casting process. There are many characters in the world of Undateable and we want it to be as beautifully diverse as the real world we live in.

The Story

The Story

 

Undateable follows Camille, a hopeless optimist. She will date just about anyone in her quest to find love – the psycho-killer next door, her gynecologist, people who are either way too into her, or obviously not interested. 

 

The World

 

Camille exists in a larger-than-life world, sort of like Mr. Rogers' neighborhood, but a lot darker. Friends and neighbors are constantly popping out of the woodwork and into frame to back her up, give her advice, or cheer on her terrible decisions.
