ANNIE HALL’s dark side. Anna and Lou spend their days together making dark-themed art, baring themselves to each other through their art form. When Anna’s painting triggers Lou’s past, their offbeat romance off and on the canvas is put to the test. #MoodPitch #A #R #RC #HA #MV

ACOTAR X STARDUST Once upon a time the 🌍 was cleaved in two, humans & elves never to meet. So when chronically ill Kayla unwittingly bridges the realms & falls in ❤ with the prince, she has to pay the price. Because the king wants her world And her blood. #moodpitch #f #a #dis
