Summer Love (2016)

In the heartwarming drama of Summer Love, we follow the journey of Maya Sulliway, a socially conscious outdoor enthusiast and doting single mother. After losing her husband Nate, Maya balances the delicate act of being both parents to her teenage daughter, Addison. As she navigates her rebirth into a world of academia at the age of thirty-five, Maya grapples with her ambitions of becoming an accountant, a quest for financial stability amid the chaos of life. With Addison spending her summer at camp, Maya is free to step into the fast-paced world of tech start-ups to fulfill her internship requirements. She finds herself amidst the young and vibrant energy of Kizzmit, a thriving social media enterprise. This venture is a far cry from her comfort zone, and Maya feels like a fish out of water in a pool of millennials. Yet, her professor Eleanor believes in her potential and challenges her with an opportunity that would make her younger classmates green with envy. At Kizzmit, Maya finds herself working under the company's co-founders Colin Fitzgerald and Will Martin, contrasting characters who represent the balance between methodical control and creative vision. As the company gears up for the launch of their next big app, 'Talker 2', and the annual Pitchfest, where even interns can pitch their app ideas, Maya finds herself in a whirlwind of competition and innovation. Despite the tension, Maya catches the eye of the charismatic CEO, Will. Despite her concerns about jeopardizing her professional standing, she can't help but reciprocate his grand romantic gestures. As Maya starts to entertain the thought of Will filling the void left by Nate, she comes face-to-face with the harsh realities of the competitive tech world, teetering on the brink of unethical behavior. In Summer Love, Maya's journey narrates the complexities of stepping into the new-age digital world while rediscovering love and holding onto the essence of human connection.
