“An Evening with Emery Long”

AXIOM Megamedia

"Flawless writing, outstanding performances, and inspired period production design come together in a sweet and very human story about the romantic hopes and dreams of a painfully regular guy."Paul Sbrizzi, Gallery Host, Co-Chair Shorts Programming, Slamdance Film Festival
On a cold Saturday afternoon, as day gives way to night, industrial carpet salesman Emery Long (Joel Spence) prepares for his first date with the sales department’s receptionist, Della (Sue Gillan). Della used to date Emery’s closest co-worker and friend, Ted Pinkenton (Danny McCarthy), who has never gotten over her. Emery has planned the perfect evening, but soon realizes things might not turn out as he imagined.
