Official U.S. trailer:
Plot In Search of a Midnight Kiss follows the plight of Wilson (Scoot McNairy), a 29-year-old man who has just suffered through the most miserable year of his life. A new arrival to the City of Angels, Wilson ends up alone and penniless as New Year's Eve rapidly approaches, and avows to lock his doors, pull his blinds, and climb into bed - until best friend Jacob (Brian McGuire) talks him into posting a Craig's List personal ad. In seemingly no time at all, the message leads Wilson to Vivian (Sara Simmonds), a freewheeling young woman utterly determined to be with the "right" man at the stroke of midnight. She soon leads Wilson on an eventful and colorful trip through the nighttime streets of L.A. that he will never forget - and that leads to a heartfelt emotional connection between the two.( (by Nathan Southern of All Movie Guide) http://www.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll Notes of Interest: The cast and crew are all friends from Austin, Texas who now live and work in Los Angeles, California.

Scoot McNairy played the lead in the film and also co-produced with Seth Caplan (Flatland, Cassidy Kids). Okkervil River and Shearwater are bands also hailing from Austin, Texas who contributed to the movie's soundtrack. Songs by the band's Sybil, Paleo, Brian McGuire, The Family Band, Hot Club of Cowotown and the Scorpions are utilized extensively in the film. Robert Murphy, cinematographer for the film, also played the part of Jackmo, the angry ex-boyfriend. He also wrote and sung two songs in the movie.
