Kissing in the Rain

Kissing in the Rain is a two season series by Shipwrecked Comedy. The series was inspired by a John Green quote (quoted above). The series follows two couples Lily & James and Audrey & Henry. The project was a transmedia fan experiment that had videos on youtube, role play twitter accounts, and written canon drabbles by Yulin Kuang alongside fanon turned canon on tumblr.

Video
Lily and James play the roles of Lily and James. In the movie, James runs after Lily to tell her that he is going to keep standing in the rain because he cannot go without her. She, however, finds him insufferable among other negative traits. Instead of walking away, he takes this as reason to start repeating 'I love you' to her. This convinces Lily, and the two of them makeout under her umbrella. The director calls cut, and the two actors break from their characters. James tries to make small talk and invite Lily out to lunch, but she quickly rejects it.
