What an odd film...

Just when you think it's total cheese, it kicks back and lands one!

The(ir) Blurb...

“Window Shopping” starring Russell Kohlmann, is a narrative short film about a young man with an active imagination and lackluster sex life. Propelled by a soundtrack provided by Pance Pony, a Brooklyn music producer, the film captures the feeling of falling in love with someone upon first glance. Inspired by the banality of everyday crushes, Russell wrote, produced, and also directed the film with assistance from Jenn Plotzke. Shot over the course of two days using Jersey City, New Jersey as the landscape, Russell and his team spent hours catching the perfect light. As per the director’s statement, “This film is a tribute to the act of falling in love everywhere you go.”
