PARTISANS
Written by Scott Paul Wright
In a single Paris café over the course of seven days, the lives of strangers — lovers, liars, lost souls, and seekers — intertwine in a fragile web of desire, regret, and quiet revelation. When the lights finally go out, everyone is forced to face the truth they’ve been avoiding — and the cost of connection.
Set entirely in and around Partisan, a Right Bank café that hums like a living organism, PARTISANS is a chamber piece for the modern age — a multi-threaded ensemble drama in the tradition of Kieslowski’s Red and Altman’s Short Cuts, filtered through the wry melancholy of Lost in Translation.
A meditation on loneliness and connection in the digital age, PARTISANS is a love letter to Paris and to the broken, searching souls who haunt its cafés. It’s intimate, cinematic, and deeply human — a film about people who want to be seen, and the fear of what happens when they finally are.

Paris in the 20s
Written by Scott Paul Wright
In today’s glittering world of Paris fashion, three lost souls fall into a dreamlike triangle - but illusion only holds so long before the truth shatters everything.
Paris - a city of light, shadow, and curated perfection. Cara, an American teaching English, finds herself entangled with Kerstin, a damaged but magnetic fashion influencer, and Julien, a French luxury exec hiding a truth too painful to speak.
Together, they form a fragile love triangle built more on need than truth. What begins as a shared escape unravels into heartbreak, forcing each of them to confront buried trauma, sexual identity, and the aching, universal hunger to be seen. As the fantasy collapses, they learn: in Paris, even love comes at a cost.
