Ahead of its US release this November, a poster and trailer have arrived online for writer-director David Freyne’s 90s-set comedy drama Dating Amber which stars Fionn O’Shea and Lola Petticrew as teenagers Eddie and Amber, who fake a relationship to stop their family and friends speculating about their sexuality; take a look here…
DATING AMBER is a poignant, honest and funny look at the highs and lows of teenage life where the only way to fit in is to not be yourself, even if this goes against your very being. Set-in Ireland during the mid-90’s, Eddie and Amber decide to stage a relationship in order to stop everyone speculating about their sexuality. Eddie is keen to follow his Dad into the military, while Amber dreams of moving to the liberal hub of London. However, their ‘ideal’ arrangement begins to fall apart, forcing Eddie deeper into denial as Amber realizes that a perilous future awaits her best friend unless she intervenes. DATING AMBER is a love letter to all those kids who grew up in a small town and who needed to escape in order to be themselves.
Dating Amber is set for release on November 13th.
