Vern Oakley

A Modern Affair is an independent feature directed by Vern Oakley and produced by Tribe Pictures. Starring Stanley Tucci and Lisa Eichhorn, the film's plot reverses the conventions of romantic comedies: instead of man meet woman - fall in love, marry and have baby, in this film the woman gets pregnant, then meets the father, then falls in love. Grace Rhodes (Lisa Eichhorn) is a lonely, successful executive whose biological clock is loudly ticking.

Seven college friends re-unite in the house where they used to spend summers. Some things have changed, some have stayed the same.

Guys talk about women. Women talk about guys. People meet at a club: they dance, they drink. Two women who live together retire, and as they are falling asleep, they get into an argument about whether they should or shouldn't say "I love you." Men discuss a conquest.

Another Great Day depicts a day in the life of a housewife as she routinely performs her daily chores; TV, radio and pulp novels form her world of fantasy.
