Some people are so unwilling to accept the reality of their personal relationships that they become a romantic in denial.  That’s certainly the case for actress Yesly Dimate’s protagonist of Olivia in the upcoming romantic dramedy, ‘Before We Begin.’

Buffalo 8 will distribute the movie this Friday, November 21. The feature’s official release comes after it had its World Premiere as the Closing Night Film at last year’s Chelsea Film Festival. In honor of the project’s official distribution, Film Factual is debuting an exclusive clip from the feature, which is titled ‘Bookstore.’

Shazeb Fahim wrote and directed the dramedy. Besides Dimate, the movie also stars Monica Giordano, Jamie Eddy, Fahim, Paige Hapeman and Andrew Fama.

‘Before We Begin’ follows Olivia, a young artist living in Boston who questions her impending move to New York. The very next day, Olivia finds an original and unexpected connection with Phillip (Fama), a peculiar philosophy student. Over the course of the fall, as her move approaches, Olivia must contend with her evolving relationship, while also finding the courage to pursue her creative ambition and desires.
