Welcome to The RomCom Roundtable! Let’s unite for more RomComs!! It’s our mission here at the pod!

We also talk about the trajectory of the film industry, creating and distributing independent films, and the genre of RomComs and its evolution. Set in Las Cruces, New Mexico, Love on Tap tells the story of Amber (McMann) whose efforts to preserve her late father’s legacy collide with Samuel (Moffat), a polished marketing strategist aiming to save her struggling business. Love on Tap is available on streaming (including CreatorWood, Apple TV, Prime Video, Google Play, Vimeo, and Fandango) and stars Kennedy McMann and Alex Moffat.
