It Has To Be You

At a clandestine diner in East New York, three conversations happen simultaneously: The cook and the waitress, by the counter, falling in love. The two newlyweds by the window, discussing their second thoughts about life together. And the two men in a booth, speaking about a killing.  Shot on 35mm film, It Has To Be You is a romantic thriller in the vein of classic American crime films of the 70’s.
