In her semi-autobiographical directorial feature film debut, Elena Beuca (Connectivity, Get Him To The Greek, Enlightened) stars in the lead role of Stefania alongside her husband and D-Love writer, Dave Rogers ( Play On, Siblings). The film co-stars Ditlev Darmakaya (who plays himself) as the wanderer and A Perfect Circle’s Billy Howerdel, who also composed the stunning original musical score for the film.
D-Love opened at the Laemmle 7 North Hollywood on Friday December 8, 2017 for it’s week long cinematic run.
Synopsis: A couple with longstanding marital issues lands at LAX after a failed getaway. For a few years now, Stefania has been unhappy in a job she detests, while Dan still dealing with his grief, hasn’t worked in years. Their strain is amplified when a Danish vagabond asks for a ride and much to his wife’s horror, Dan offers to bring this total stranger to their home.
How will this affect the already strained couple? Over the course of three days, Stefania comes to discover that the desired change doesn’t always come in the package that we want or expect.
With her first feature film, Elena Beuca felt the need to tell the story about her and her husband meeting this enigmatic stranger by chance to help inspire others to make positive life changes of their own.
“We all live such busy lives, we are all going from one place to another, trying to achieve the next thing or trying to impress the next person….yet we rarely take the time to let opportunities and people affect us” says Beuca.
“This movie means a lot to me because it deals with simple, yet universal issues like fighting for what we want. It’s not just finding ourselves and living the life we were meant to lead, but more than anything it’s about letting go, which can be the hardest part of all” says Beuca
