Film Notes
A heartfelt journey of laughter, love and finding yourself in the middle of change.
Is This Thing On? unfolds as a warm, character-driven comedy-drama about relationships, reinvention and the healing power of humour. When longtime partners Alex and Tess find themselves facing separation, the narrative moves beyond the expected breakup drama into territory that’s both funny and deeply human. Through Alex’s forays into stand-up comedy and Tess’s rediscovery of her own passions, the film examines how life’s transitions can open doors to unexpected growth and connection.
