Synopsis of Love 10 to 1
Love 10 to 1 is a romantic comedy that explores the highs and lows of relationships and love in the city of Los Angeles. The film is told in three vignettes--each with colorful characters facing both painful and hilarious circumstances. The film circles around a report on Jackie and Jared's radio show about the men shortage in the city and the single women who outnumber them by 10 to 1. The statistic serves as a profoundly motivating factor for the characters and as a constant reminder of the harsh reality of dating in LA.
The first story explores the life of a 29-year-old virgin, Jenny, who desperately wants to lose her virginity before her 30th birthday. As she encounters one loser after another on dates, Jenny pines after her boss, Dustin. While at her grandmother’s retirement home, Jenny learns a powerful lesson from her grandmother about sex and the meaning of life.
The second story revolves around Shane, the lead singer of the L.A. rock band, Dirty Virgin. Shane has her pick of admirers but it’s her roommate Dustin she wants to be with. Shane confesses her feelings on Jackie and Jared’s show but when Dustin meets Cali, Shane’s shot at love starts to dwindle. With Dirty Virgin about to embark on a world tour, will Dustin realize that he’s the object of Shane’s affections? Will they risk their friendship to give this Love Song a chance?
The final story picks up where the first story left off, but from the perspective of Jim, the guitarist of Dirty Virgin. Jim sees Jenny at a swimming pool, trying desperately to overcome her fear of diving. In fact, he finds out that she’s making a list of everything that she’s afraid of and trying to overcome them, one by one. He is instantly smitten and tries to convince her that he’s not just a rock star who ‘loves ‘em and leaves ‘em’. Can a rock star find love with a virgin?
The tone of the film is akin to "Sex and the City" meeting "Love Actually," but with a diverse cast that truly reflects the face of Los Angeles. The project is a collaboration of three women writer/directors Christine Le, Lucy Rodriguez-Watson, and Laura Somers. The filmmakers bring together their unique experiences and perspective to tell a compelling story that is truly universal.
