Acclaimed filmmaker Anthony Bawn delivers laughs, chemistry, and heart in his latest feature, “Almost Us,” a romance comedy debuting April 17th on Watch VIM. Set against the striking desert landscape of Phoenix, the film explores what happens when desire collides with power—and when love becomes inseparable from legacy and community survival.

“Almost Us” opens with a fiery one-night stand and the rom-com complications that follow between Darren, a closeted and politically connected real estate developer, and Jason, an openly queer and charismatic community organizer. What begins as heat and escape soon evolves into a volatile collision of worlds with sharp banter when Darren’s luxury redevelopment project threatens the Baldwin Cultural Center, a beloved sanctuary and organizing hub for Phoenix’s marginalized communities.

“Almost Us” premieres April 17th exclusively on WatchVIM.
