Set against the lush backdrop of a picturesque couples retreat, Twisted Hearts invites viewers on a rollercoaster ride through modern romance, emotional baggage, and deeply buried truths.

“My vision for Twisted Hearts is to create a comedic classic for the ages,” shares director Michael A. Pinckney. “It’s a film that people can revisit over and over, discovering new layers of humor and truth with each watch. Comedy heals—and Twisted Hearts reminds us that even in the chaos of relationships, laughter is often the best medicine.”

The film’s timely themes around identity, intimacy, and interracial dynamics are packaged with sharp wit and emotional depth, creating a work that is as entertaining as it is thought-provoking.
