'Lib and Lew knew they wanted to make something together - the question was what and when. As the pandemic hit Australia in March 2020, they decided the world needed a classic rom-com served in bite-sized pieces. Spilling their hearts out over FaceTime, the pair wrote through the first lockdown, and with a little help from a City of Melbourne Covid-19 Arts Grant, they filmed the show as restrictions eased in May. 

'Now as Melbourne weathers its second lockdown, they're ready to release their sometimes-funny, sometimes-dirty, always-hopeful series to the world.
