As of October 8th, 2025, the debut feature film "Situations" by director Greg Vrotsos has been making waves since its world premiere at the Oldenburg International Film Festival. The film follows the story of Nick, a successful photographer in Los Angeles, as he grapples with the aftermath of his recent breakup with his ex-girlfriend Jessica.
Three months after Jessica initiated the split, Nick reluctantly agrees to a blind date set up by his friend. This leads to a series of cringeworthy social encounters, including an awkward interaction with the haughty restaurant hostess and a tense exchange with the bartender.
