Set in the era of dial-up and AIM away messages, a love-sick teenage girl and her older sister embark on a road trip to meet her online boyfriend, but what begins as a fun, sisterly quest quickly devolves into chaos as each girls’ ulterior motives are revealed and the lies pile up faster than the miles.
Director's Bio: Kate Cobb is a Los Angeles-based filmmaker known for intimate, off-kilter storytelling that blends emotional authenticity with dark humor and touches of magical realism.
Her second feature, BRB, a tender and darkly funny exploration of early-internet girlhood, premiered in the Breakouts program at Slamdance Film Festival 2026, where it won a Grand Jury Prize. Kate recently completed production on her third feature, Collect- a found-footage dark comedy co-written with longtime collaborator and husband Kevin Bigley- which is currently in post-production. Her films have screened at festivals including SXSW, SBIFF, USA Film Festival, Tall Grass, and the LA Women’s Independent Film Awards.
Brief Q&A with the filmmaker to follow screening.
