Written & Directed by Lisa Datz
"The course of true love never did run smooth." - William Shakespeare
SYNOPSIS
One moment of doubt shatters Riley’s perfect love story, setting off a chain of betrayal, mistrust, and heartbreaking consequences. RILEY is a gripping, intimate story of love, trust, and the secrets that can change everything in an instant.
DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
LIFE OF RILEY is, at its heart, a love story—one that asks what happens when old wounds and unconscious fears collide with the person we love most. While intimate and personal, the story reflects larger truths about trust, trauma, and the invisible biases that shape how we see each other. As the writer as well, it taps into themes that have only become (for better or worse) more timely now.
​
Set in New York City, it follows two people from different cultural backgrounds—deeply in love, but caught in the fragile space between hope and fear. There are no clear heroes or villains here, only real people doing their best in moments that can change everything.
