God
of Love is an American live action short film. The film's run time is
approximately 18 minutes. It was written and directed by Luke Matheny,
and produced by Gigi Dement, Ryan Silbert, and Stefanie Walmsley. The
film was shot in black and white on the Red One camera by director of
photography Bobby Webster.
In the film, a lounge singer and
championship dart player named Raymond Goodfellow is desperately in love
with a fellow band-mate, but she only has love for his best friend. The
crooner prays daily to God for a way for his beloved to fall in love
with him. One evening, his prayers are answered when he's given a box of
magical darts with Cupid-like powers. Raymond decides to use the darts
to make his own love connection.
Raymand Goodfellow rides on a
country road on his motor scooter. His voice over explains “You can’t
control who you fall in love with, or who falls in love with you. Love
doesn’t make sense.”
The film flashes back to three months
earlier to Ray’s time as a confident, self-centered lounge singer/dart
thrower. Ray’s band consists of his friends Fozzie (guitar), Frank
(Bass) and the “love of his life” Kelly (drums). Before he joins the
band onstage, Ray prays to God asking him for assistance in getting
Kelly to love him. Despite Ray’s ongoing affection to her, she seems
drawn to Fozzie who, being a good friend to Ray, is rejecting Kelly’s
advances.
After Ray’s crowd pleasing performance, he is
informed by the bartender that someone has left a package for him. The
package contains “love darts.” The instructions for the darts explain
that when someone is poked with love dart they are immediately attracted
to the first person they see. This attraction lasts for 6 hours. At the
end of the 6 hours if the love is meant to last it will, but if it
doesn’t it won’t.
Ray tells Fozzie about the darts and they
both agree to have a test run. While the band walks home from a gig, Ray
throws a love dart catching a prissy Jersey Girl named Angela. The
first man she sees is Ray’s quiet, low-key bandmate Frank. Just as the
instructions promised, Angela falls in love with Frank immediately. Ray
and Fozzie follow the new couple around. After exactly six hours, Angela
appears to still be in love with Frank and Ray declares the darts
“effective.”
Ray enlists Fozzie’s help in creating the “most
romantic six hours” ensuring that Kelly will remain in love with Ray
after the love dart’s initial power ends. Fozzie is able to offer
several tips, knowing a surprising amount about Kelly and the things
that are important to her.
Ray goes to Kelly’s house and
strikes her with a dart. As promised by the dart’s instructions, she
immediately falls in love with him. They go on their date which goes
perfectly. Towards the end of the six hours they kiss. When the six
hours end, Kelly looks uncomfortable, thanks him for the evening, and
leaves. It is clear that the love from the dart did not last.
Ray
consoles himself by poking one woman after another until he has a whole
flock of women (and one man) who are completely in love with him for
six hours. During this time all he can do is talk about getting Kelly to
fall in love with him again. He even contemplates convincing her that
she has diabetes so she has to poke herself with the love darts over and
over again.
The love darts wear off and he is alone again,
ready to try to the darts on Kelly one more time. Walking home from
another gig with his band Ray prepares to throw a second dart at Kelly.
Moments before throwing the dart he realizes that his loyal friend
Fozzie is really in love with her and that she is really in love with
him. Instead of striking Kelly with the dart, he hits Fozzie right as he
looks up at Kelly. The two instantly fall in love with each other. A
wiser and less self-centered Ray returns to his apartment. He finds
another mysterious box outside his apartment with a note that says “nice
work.” He opens the box and finds Cupid’s bow and arrow.
The
film flashes forward to six months in the future at the point the film
began. The band continues but without Ray, Angela is the new singer.
Frank and Angela and Fozzie and Kelly are still very much in love. Ray
is many miles away driving on his motor scooter on the country road his
bow and arrow tied to his back. He repeats “you can’t control who you
love, or who loves you.” He ends by saying that love doesn’t make sense.
He knows all this because “I am the God of the Love.”
