That’s Not Us
That’s Not Us is an intimate portrait of three twenty-something couples (one gay, one lesbian, and one straight) as they travel to a beach house to enjoy the last days of summer. But what should be a fun and carefree weekend becomes an exploration of their fears and frustrations.

Shot in just eight days with a skeleton cast and crew, starting with just a basic story outline and filmed without a screenplay, using dialogue improvised by a talented group of actors, the movie captures both the humour and drama in relationships. A fascinating meditation, natural and engaging, which may at first seem rather insubstantial, but which delves into the question of equality and the absurdity of sex and gender barriers. A film as fresh and authentic as the sun, the sea, sex and laughter.
