In this charming romantic comedy, modern dating gets turned upside down when two commitment-phobic singles decide to approach love like a scientific experiment. Amari Smith and Nubian Gonzalez play strangers who meet through a mutual friend and agree to test an unconventional theory about relationships by following a strict set of dating rules designed to eliminate emotional complications.

What begins as a methodical approach to romance quickly becomes anything but systematic as the pair discovers that matters of the heart refuse to follow logical formulas. As they navigate their carefully structured dates and attempt to maintain emotional distance, unexpected chemistry threatens to derail their entire experiment. Rob L. Cohen and Frank Lloyd round out the cast as friends who offer conflicting advice about the duo's unusual arrangement.

Directed and written by Ian Rosenay, this 14-minute short film explores the delicate balance between protecting oneself from heartbreak and remaining open to genuine connection. With its witty dialogue and relatable characters, Dating Method examines whether love can truly be quantified or if some things are simply meant to be felt rather than analyzed.
