DATING AMBER is a poignant yet hilarious look at the highs and lows of teenage life where the only way to fit in is to not be yourself.

Set-in Ireland during the mid-90’s, two closeted teenagers, Eddie and Amber,  decide to stage a relationship in order to stop everyone speculating about their sexuality. Eddie is keen to follow his Dad into the military, while Amber dreams of moving to liberal London.

However, their ‘ideal’ arrangement begins to fall apart, forcing Eddie deeper into denial as Amber realises that a perilous future awaits her best friend unless she intervenes.

DATING AMBER is a love letter to all those kids who grew up in a small town and who needed to escape in order to be themselves.
