Ever feel like the world is spinning too fast to keep up?
Five sexy, sassy and cynical twenty-somethings come together at a less than glamorous speed dating event. Speed is a bittersweet modern comedy featuring a banker in denial, a writer with a hang-up, a publicist with a penchant for sexagenarians, a jilted musician, and a shrink with a secret; all reveal their secret desires.

“Speed is essentially a comedy about people. It displays our ability to heal one another, and the surprising things we might discover about ourselves when talking to complete strangers.”
