Episode of the Week

That Love Podcast presents: American Bollywood — Official Trailer

Format/Genre: A cinematic coming-of-age audio rom-com and romantic audio drama about first love, impossible dreams, Bollywood dancing, friendship, family, and finding the courage to finally be seen.

Logline: When high-school senior Izzy Lopez discovers that Miles Pires Shah — the boy she has secretly loved for years — is leaving town in just eight weeks, she creates an outrageous plan to learn Bollywood dancing, perform at prom, and make him fall in love with her before time runs out.

AMERICAN BOLLYWOOD — OFFICIAL TRAILER

His name is Miles Pires Shah.

Izzy Lopez has loved him from a distance for years, but she has never found the courage to tell him how she feels. Then everything changes when Izzy discovers that Miles is leaving town in only eight weeks, giving her fifty-six days to do something she has spent years avoiding: make sure he finally sees her.

Her solution is completely reasonable.

Learn Bollywood dancing.

Perform at the school prom.

Make Miles Pires Shah fall hopelessly in love with her.

There is just one fairly serious problem.

Izzy cannot dance.

As Izzy throws herself into an impossible eight-week challenge, she enters a world of disastrous dance lessons, unexpected friendships, family complications, romantic misunderstandings and feelings that refuse to follow her carefully constructed plan. What begins as an attempt to win one boy’s heart slowly becomes something much bigger — a journey about confidence, identity, friendship, first love and discovering that becoming worthy of someone else may matter far less than believing you were already enough.

American Bollywood is a warm, funny and emotional love story podcast filled with romantic tension, Bollywood-inspired energy, coming-of-age chaos and characters searching for the courage to tell the truth about what they really want.

Sometimes getting someone to finally see you begins with learning to see yourself.

American Bollywood begins September 7th on That Love Podcast.

Starring Berr Kell and Emerson Peery
