WAITING - SYNOPSIS
Waiting is a four-part comedy web series created by Mhaya Polacco. The series follows Zoey, a girl in college who tries to navigate dating, relationships, and hookup culture as a virgin, sexless and senseless. The 5-10 minute episodes dive into what it’s like for Zoey to date in college while trying to lose her virginity to someone she is truly comfortable with. Through the advice of her sexually experienced and open roommates, Zoey winds up in some cringe situations.
The series has been accepted in 15+ film festivals, some including: New York Flash Film Festival, Los Angeles Cinematography Awards, and No Coast Film Festival.
