Synopsis: The doorstep is the most awkward part of a first date. When a guy walks a girl to her door many important questions stream through both of their minds: Does she think I’m attractive? Does he think I’m interesting? Should I ask her out again? And the most stressful question of all-time, will there be a goodnight kiss?! It’s hard to foresee the answer when your date is a professional clown or a mortician or is obsessed with duck calls! Death of the Doorstep Kiss explores several end-of-the-date goodnight kiss situations which grow more disastrous with each date. Could there possibly be a happy ending?
