Thirty Steps

James Alexander is a 23-year-old wannabe marine biologist working at a coffee counter in a cinema foyer. Thirty steps away, 19-year-old amateur filmmaker Bailey Thompson works at the snacks counter adjacent to his. Six attempts at asking Bailey out and James gives up, witnessing, three days after his most recent confession, a kiss between Bailey and a young girl closer to his age. Sad and unwilling to co-operate with his colleague Luke, he is dragged to a gay club to meet guys, where a certain blond haired movie fanatic is sitting alone at the bar, drinking his suffering away.
