Short summary

Kurt and Erika are both waiting for the same bus. The difference is that Kurt mistakes Erika's polite smile for one of desire, and Erika mistakes Kurt for a mugger. After Erika fights off Kurt's "advances," they make a real connection over the course of the day and night.

When deciding who should play the female lead Erika (which eventually went to Christine Tarbox), the producers considered offering the role to Olivia Wilde, Rachel Price, and Ashley Olsen before realising that this was an unachievable goal.

As the short was filmed MOS (without sound), DOP Mark Darling spent the entire shoot humming the catalogue of Canadian pop star and hero Justin Bieber.

Writer Adam Canuck Zimmerman wrote the screenplay New Year's Eve 2013 because he has no friends.

Tyler Burrows, who plays Kurt, spent the entire night before the shoot awake, learning how to juggle livestock and cutlery. He also provided lunch for the crew: chicken and goat stew.
