What happens

Paper Heart is a 2009 American romantic comedy film directed by Nicholas Jasenovec, who co-wrote the screenplay with Lo Mutuc. The film stars Mutuc and Michael Cera as fictionalized versions of themselves based on their rumored relationship, though Mutuc has said they never dated. The plot for the film is based on Mutuc’s original idea of a documentary, which Jasenovec suggested would be accentuated with a fictional storyline. The film premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
