	Young Love begins with a fantasy sequence inspired by the aesthetics of a spy movie, and then snaps us right into the middle of a young couple’s early morning banter. She’s eager to hear one of her boyfriend’s sex fantasies and he is just as determined to resist. A simple offer -- Tell me one of yours and I’ll tell you one of mine-- leads to a devastating disclosure.

	Director’s Statement by Emily Carmichael Young Love began with a scrap of dialogue for a girl eagerly pressing her boyfriend to describe one of his sex fantasies. There was a lot of fun banter as she teased the fantasy out of him, and it seemed from there that the conversation could go anywhere. The most interesting possibilities arose when there was conflict between his fantasies and hers, and I was especially interested in versions where she had a secret to keep. Sex fantasies can be so vivid, so laden with psychological symbols, and often so problematic—sometimes the things we fantasize about are at odds with our values or the politics of our waking lives. This tension is magnified when the stylized violence and stark power dynamics of sexual fantasies are set against the terror of actual violence in the life of someone we love.
