Love Etc. is a witty, poignant and humorous exploration of the universal stages of love, depicted through five real stories over the course of one year in New York City. From teen romance to a decades long marriage, newlyweds to a recent divorcee, and even a bachelor so frustrated in his search that he chooses to have children without a partner, the film documents the intimate journeys of engaging characters reflecting their diversity, and taking an honest look at one of life’s most challenging pursuits. Love Etc. marks Jill Andresevic’s feature directorial debut. She began her career producing award winning campaigns for Nike, and has created over 40 short documentaries for Cadillac featuring Jay Leno, William H. Macy, and many others. Her work has been honored by Boards Magazine, Time Magazine, and The Wall Street Journal.

According to author and noted speaker Leil Lowndes, there are two kinds of people. Those who walk into a room and say “Well, here I am.” And those who walk in and say, “Ahh, there you are.” She believe each of us should strive to be the latter, and her latest book, How to Create Chemistry with Anyone, takes the reader on a step by step journey from “first sight” to “forever-together.” Lowndes has appeared as a guest expert on countless national television and news programs and gives workshops for corporations, associations, and the public around the country.
