Awkward, beautiful and moving, "First Kiss" will make you feel uncomfortable, vulnerable and then moved beyond words. This remarkably simple short film was created by director Tatia Pllieva who asked twenty strangers to kiss for the first time. Set in a clean white room, the cast is left to face each other with awkward introductions that transform in some cases to heated passion. The result? A viral video that has spread like wildfire. Within one day of its release, the film already has over 20 million hits on Youtube. I watched "First Kiss" earlier today as a friend who happens to be starring in the movie posted it on Facebook. And then I realized it was created in collaboration with Los Angeles-based clothing line Wren to celebrate the debut of its Fall '14 collection. Absolutely brilliant. I don't even need to see the collection - I am already in love.
XOXO
