Have you ever had a wild, crazy night in Vegas that was impossible to keep a secret?
#InstaLove is a comedic short film about a couple who meets in Vegas and fall in love after a wild promiscuous night. The bride to be asks her uncle to marry them and during a premarital counseling session, the cover up and lies about how they met begin to unfold hilariously.
Written by Lexis Shardé & Directed by Dale Stelly
After working together on a commercial, I learned that Dale and I both had a love for comedy. We kept in contact in effort to work together again. In 2012, I pursued studies at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Los Angeles where I started writing my stories and ideas in the form of sketches and stand-up comedy.
After celebrating my 26th birthday in Las Vegas, I was inspired to write. While exaggerating the many hilarious events that took place amongst my friends and I, this script was so much fun to write. I envisioned watching my work on the big screen and I had to find a way to bring it to life.
After sharing the script with Dale Stelly, he too grew a strong passion to make this idea a reality. In fact he called me a few hours after I sent him the script and said, "Lex! This is right up my alley! The script is hilarious!"
With Dale's expertise in directing and producing comedy films, I couldn't have asked for a better partner on this film. Dale Stelly is a prolific filmmaker whom, at the time of this productions, had already produced 18 feature films within 5 years with many films distributed by Lionsgate.
