The Sidekick

Logline: When her actress best friend starts dating a co-star, Maggie's feelings take an unexpected turn. Will she chase a cross-country promotion or risk (another) friendship for love?

This queer love letter to the romcom features two for the price of one: a fake dating scheme between the “leads,” and a slow-burn friends to lovers tale — if THE SIDEKICK finally steps into the spotlight.
