She Loves Me, He Loves Me Not is a performance-driven relationship drama about love, loyalty, masculinity, and betrayal when a pregnancy forces unresolved truths into the open. Derek, an Uber driver struggling to make rent and a Chicago music producer on the verge of breaking through, has just kicked his longtime friend and collaborator, Keith, out of his apartment. Hours later, Derek and Sandra—his partner—are reckoning with two life-altering realities: their fractured relationship and the fact that they’ve just discovered they’re having a baby. Past infidelity from a less-serious phase of the relationship lingers beneath the surface. Trust collapses. Loyalties shift. The future demands clarity. This is an intimate, dialogue-heavy ensemble piece designed as a high-level scene study with strong, dramatic reel moments.
