Hotel Raynal

A romantic dinner shared between two people takes an unexpected turn. True love is shown and it may not be between the ones you think. Hotel Raynal is a short made for the Charlotte, NC 48hr Film Project in the Fall of 2025. For the 48hr Film Project, each team is assigned, by random drawing, two genres to use for their project. We drew Romance and Food Film as our categories. We are also assigned a prop to use (tablet,) a character to write in (Rhianna Raynal,) and a line of dialogue that has to be included verbatim, "You ask a lot of questions." This was what our team created.
