Starring a hot, fresh young cast and using state of the art, cutting-edge videography, "Awkward Embraces" combines the fall-down funny geek humor of "The Big Bang Theory"--only from the female perspective--and the steamy seductiveness of "Sex in the City" with a relevant, "we've all been there" twist.

Written and produced by, and starring Jessica Mills, and co-starring Candis Phlegm and Lyndsey Doolen, the series is directed and edited by Adam Finmann using Canon's dynamic 5D Mark II camera (so cutting-edge it was used entirely in the filming of this season's finale of House), with Becky Sapp as director of photography.

The series follows the dating adventures and misadventures of three L.A. girls who prove that just because a girl is hot, it doesn't necessarily follow that she has a man, or even that she'd know what to do with one if she got one.  Jessica, the Star Trek/comic book geeky girl, seems to always say and do just the wrong thing at the wrong time to the wrong guy, proving that, well, "Nerdy girls need love, too."  Her friends' awkward attempts to help her generally backfire, and though their luck with men is a little better than hers, it's still not enough to keep from being face-aching funny.

And finally, no matter how embarrassing or frustrating or upsetting orpromisingthe date might have been for Jessica or Candis or Lyndsey, they've still got each other at the end of the dayto laugh at.
