Before introverted word-nerd, Zoe, gains the courage to enter the National Scrabble Championship, she meets her emotional match in Marty, an irascible recluse.

Directed by Bill Sebastian Starring Dana Pupkin & Eric Hailey Screenplay by Juliet McDaniel Produced by Nat Dykeman, Jeremy Truelove, Dana Pupkin & Bill Sebastian Director of Photography Dave Wagenaar Edited by Bill Sebastian & Noel Williams "My Time" by Puritan Paul (puritanpaul.bandcamp.com/) "Night Owl" by Broke For Free (brokeforfree.com/)
