A Film Born Out of Love and Laughter
So, how did this intriguing concept come about? Kallen Prosterman, a proud Memphis native, found herself in a rather awkward situation: she was dating the same guy as Olivia AbiAssi. โI was dating this guy who was also dating this woman, and once she and I put the pieces together, we quickly came up with this idea,โ Kallen shared with enthusiasm. Talk about a plot twist!
Rather than letting the experience turn sour, the two women channeled their feelings into creativity. The result is a screenplay that promises to deliver laughter, heartbreak, and the relatable intricacies of modern dating. โThis Really Happenedโ highlights the often-comical and complicated world of relationships, showcasing how shared experiences can lead to unexpected friendships.

The screening will take place at the Malco Paradiso, a well-loved venue located in the heart of Memphis, and will start promptly at 3:30 p.m. While the event is free, itโs essential to arrive early as seating is limited, and you definitely wonโt want to miss out!
The film promises to deliver a blend of humor and honesty that many can appreciate, as Prosterman and AbiAssi draw from their own experiences and observations to craft relatable scenarios. This Really Happened serves as a reminder that even the most chaotic experiences can give way to creativity and connection.
