Dexter Nolan Mathis has spent all of his life in the solitude and safety of his one bedroom apartment. But all of that is about to change when he purchases a mail order bride to have a companion and through a translation error winds up with Dimitri Valdimir Volokof, a gay Russian immigrant who is looking for freedom, acceptance and love in the USA.






“I asked for a bride, not a groom. There must be a mistake.”
Director’s Notes
This film took its first steps in 2009, when Eric Phillips came to me with this idea for a comedy about a nerd who purchases a mail order bride and the awkwardness between this hot girl and this socially inept guy. I told Eric if you want to make it a comedy there has to be a twist that amps up the hilarity. So I said the mail order bride has to be male. From there Mr. Phillips and I created an outline and started throwing around dialogue that came to mind while fleshing out our two main characters: the nerd and the male order bride.
In June of 2009, during my first trip to the big island of Hawaii, I began to bring the script to life. I wanted to create a film that didn’t rely on gross out comedy or swearing. My goal was to create a modern day Billy Wilder style comedy, one that was a mixture of slapstick and smart hilarious dialogue. As I wrote the words to paper, the film quickly became more to me than just some simple film to make you laugh. It became a film about prejudice, gay rights and accepting who you are in a society that disconnects itself with the growth of technology.
