Filmmaker's 'No Small Talk' First Date
30 Oct
Summary
- Documentary filmmaker Erin Lee Carr met Michelle Bruton via Hinge.
- Their first meeting was for ice cream in Los Angeles.
- Carr, daughter of David Carr, is also polyamorous.
Filmmaker Erin Lee Carr, daughter of the late New York Times reporter David Carr, initiated a connection with Michelle Bruton after seeing her photo on the dating app Hinge in August 2023. Carr, known for her directorial work on "Britney vs Spears" and "Murdaugh: Death in the Family," was immediately drawn to Bruton's image.
The two met for ice cream at Magpies Softserve in Los Angeles' Highland Park neighborhood. Bruton, 43, experienced nervousness due to prior internet research on Carr, 38, leading to feelings of intimidation. Carr, who grew up in Montclair, N.J., has a career in documentary filmmaking and writing.
Bruton, originally from Canberra, Australia, works as a creative manager for video game publisher 505 Games. Carr, who identifies as polyamorous, carefully manages her time, allocating only 30 minutes per date to gauge potential compatibility.
