DIRECTORFEST ’26: Singles In Agriculture

Singles in Agriculture

  • DATE: Monday, February 2, 2026, 3pm

  • LOCATION: New York City, to be confirmed with RSVP.

At an annual dating convention for farmers, Priscilla — a spirited South Carolina army widow who loves “Modern Family” and talks to her goats — sets her sights on Joel, a taciturn fundamentalist from Oklahoma. As their unlikely connection deepens, Priscilla’s curiosity and persistence begin to chip away at Joel’s guarded exterior. But when secrets surface and convictions are tested, both must confront the reasons that brought them here, looking for love, in the first place.

In a city in the South, Deshaun sells drugs, Frankie cleans hotel rooms, and Noble makes sandwiches. They’re young, smart, and going nowhere — and not because they lack ambition. Except That It Is God is a lyrical exploration about being stuck, staying hopeful, and the divine forces — human or otherwise — that just might shift everything.
