About This Project

A Hard Reset follows Liam, a proud New Yorker who, after five years in the city, is forced to relocate to his South Carolina hometown when the pandemic hits. He moves in with his mother, takes a job at a dysfunctional call center, and clings to the hope of returning to his old life and friends. The film blends humor and introspection as Liam navigates this temporary new normal, confronting questions of identity, friendship, and self‑discovery while waiting for the world to settle.

Key Highlights

▸ Character‑driven dramedy blending humor and introspection.
▸ Relatable pandemic‑era story of friendship, identity and self‑discovery.
▸ Inspired by The Office, Schitt’s Creek, and Severance for a fresh comedic tone.
