Easier with Practice

Synopsis: In a desperate attempt to promote his yet unpublished novel, Davy Mitchell (a remarkably sensitive and honest performance from Brian Geraghty) hits the road on a self-planned book tour with his younger, looser brother Sean (the sly and funny Kel O'Neill). The brothers' inherent disparity makes them discordant road buddies and after lukewarm audience receptions to his writing, Davy is left feeling lonely and without purpose. That is until one night in Albuquerque, when Davy is alone in another generic motel room and has a far from generic experience! He receives a phone call from the seductive Nicole who asks, "What are you wearing?" After assuming it's all a joke planned by Sean, the inexperienced Davy eventually goes along with her and when his own tentative (and funny) attempts at turning her on elicit excitement, he finds himself surprisingly aroused. Davy and Nicole begin to develop an intimate relationship over the phone which Davy must keep hidden from Sean. The raunchy phone sex leads to late night conversations and the "couple" open up to each other like neither has been able to before. Davy is happier than he has ever been. Hoping there can be more to the relationship than virtual sex and a phone bill, he decides he wants to connect with Nicole in person. Ultimately, Davy will have to face not only the truth about their relationship but also about himself.

Easier with Practice explores the nature of forgiveness and the ever-evolving way people communicate with each other, and fall in love, in the modern world. Then 25 year old writer/director Kyle Patrick Alvarez's deft handling of such complex subject matter as masturbation and the pressures men feel from intimate relationships makes Alvarez a bold new talent to watch.     Source: Official Site
