My Date with Drew
Directed by Brian Herzlinger, Brett Winn, Jon Gunn
Produced by rusty bear entertainment, lucky crow films
A charming, earnest documentary about an ordinary man's quixotic quest to ask his childhood crush on a date, blending humor, vulnerability, and genuine affection.
Ever since the second grade when he first saw her in E.T. The Extraterrestrial, Brian Herzlinger has had a crush on Drew Barrymore. Now, 20 years later he's decided to try to fulfill his lifelong dream by asking her for a date. There's one small problem: She's Drew Barrymore and he's, well, Brian Herzlinger, a broke 27-year-old aspiring filmmaker from New Jersey.
