Co-created, co-produced and co-starring newcomers Mischa Dani Goodman & Caitlin Simpson, Unbridaled, a WO-mance comedy short film, will premiere at Dances With Films on Sunday, June 12.

Written by Thom Harp and directed by Chelsea Bryn Lockie, Unbridaled follows step-sisters, Catherine and Maxie, who after a bachelorette party gone wrong, wake up in the woods on the morning of Catherine's wedding. The buttoned up and responsible bride is desperate to get home, but soon realizes that her party-girl sister has used their very last 1% of battery, and shred of hope, posting to Instagram. With no cell service, sense of direction, or dignity to speak of, they happen upon a nudist retreat.

Harp's recent credits include, (co-writing/producing DARK AIR WITH TERRY CARNATION (Rainn Wilson, Tom Lennon, Karan Soni, Al Madrigal, Yvette Nicole Brown) writing/directing HOME DELIVERY (Rainn Wilson, Donald Faison, Lesley Ann Warren, Joe Pantoliano, Lindsay Sloane) and writing/directing THE DONOR PARTY (Malin Akerman, Rob Corddry, Jerry O'Connell, Erinn Hayes, Ryan Hansen). Lockie most recently directed the award winning web-series, WOE IS SHE.
