On My Way

When you’re on the way but you’re a liar! Told as a series of texts between two friends dreading their plan to hang out, “On My Way” directed by Mary Dauterman is a 90 second comedy about not wanting to leave the house. We watch in split screen as the two young women — one snacking and watching TV; the other, lounging comfortably in bed — prep for their supposed night out, “what should I wear?” “idk something cute.” Perfectly capturing the low-key lies and excuses we employ to avoid our friends, the social maneuvering and indecisiveness on display is a telling time capsule of millennial relationships and a hilarious bit of self-deprecation.

Directed by Mary Dauterman, On My Way leans on a strong ensemble — Soojeong Son, Jenny Donheiser — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2018.
