What if fate brought you the perfect love story - only for reality to get in the way? Things Like This is an indie LGBTQ rom-com that follows two men who share the same name and, seemingly, the same destiny. Under the shimmering lights of New York City, their love feels written in the stars. But in a place where dreams and reality constantly blur, is anything ever that simple?

Written, directed by, and starring Max Talisman, Things Like This is a heartfelt, funny, and deeply personal film about love, identity, and the unpredictable nature of fate. It’s a film about life told through the lens of love. Joining Max for this heartwarming and accessible take on the rom-com genre are Joey Pollari (Love, Simon), Jackie Cruz (Orange is the New Black), Charlie Tahan (Ozark, A Complete Unknown) and Cara Buono (Stranger Things). Join us on our journey to celebrate LGBTQ relationships with humor, heart, and just a touch of magic.
