PNW-made Rom-Com:Christmas Pop-Up

Zach Gilford stars in this Seattle-set romantic comedy, directed by Portland's Molly Muse. Zach Gilford (Friday Night Lights, Criminal Minds) stars as Will, a jaded celebrity chef who has lost his love for cooking and the holidays after a brutal breakup with his business partner. Enter Fran (Geena Pietromonaco), a quirky, Christmas-obsessed designer scrambling to move out of the apartment she shares with her ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend before they get engaged on New Year's Eve. Determined to design the perfect Christmas culinary pop-up, Fran enlists her besties to pull off a successful event and help Will remember why he loved cooking in the first place. And despite her vow to never date another chef, sparks begin to fly.
