Plot summary
An ensemble comedy, the plot begins when Kira, reeling from a brutal break-up, sleeps with Max, a charming but disheveled wreck already committed to longtime girlfriend Sara. Max becomes obsessed, mostly with Kira, but vaguely with his curious lack of conscience as well. Kira, fighting to win a job she hates and running aimless romantic loops, faces the precarious double challenge of choosing a next step and charting a course back to sanity.
Production
Sorry, Thanks was shot entirely on location in San Francisco's Mission District in the fall of 2007. The film is built on idiosyncratic performances from 30 mostly nonprofessional actors, cast locally in San Francisco, with the exception of Wiley Wiggins and Andrew Bujalski.
