The Hangup
Jackson and Georgina have been in love since the sandbox - literally. But now, as the pressures of adult life creep in, cracks begin to show in their once-playful relationship. They bicker over clogged sinks, forgotten chores, and broken promises, struggling to stay connected as life demands more than juice boxes and playgrounds. Here's the catch: Jackson and Georgina are played by 10-year-old actors, a surreal twist that turns their everyday struggles into a bittersweet portrait of how love changes when you're forced to grow up. When unexpected news brings their hidden fears crashing into the open, Jackson and Georgina must decide whether their childhood bond can survive the harsh realities of adulthood. Through laughter, heartbreak, and plenty of chicken nuggets, I Love You More Than Dinosaurs captures the innocence of love colliding with the terrifying unknown of the future - a funny, moving reminder that no one is ever really ready to grow up. Especially not alone.
