A FEATURE FILM
written and produced BY TESS HIGGINS & REBECCA WAHLS
DIRECTED BY REBECCA WAHLS
Him
STORY
Over the course of one night, Jenna, Shana, Savannah, Claire, and Adrienne - the final five contestants on a reality dating show - are confused and humiliated after stumbling upon some upsetting truths about the intentions of their suitor, a man never seen or heard from in the film and referred to only as “him”. On a show where women are traditionally pitted against each other, they must suddenly come together to assert their self-worth and integrity against both their suitor and the show's producers who manipulated them into falling in love.
TESS HIGGINS
Writer/ Producer/Actor
Tess' training comes from The College of William and Mary, The London Dramatic Academy, and the Hangar Lab Company. Her credits include numerous musical theatre productions, plenty of shorts, and the 2021 indie feature Kringle Time. Him was first developed as a play, and was workshopped at NextStop Theatre in 2019 with Rebecca as director. Her extensive research on the sociological aspects of reality television is integral to the specificity of Him.
REBECCA WAHLS

She has produced and directed multiple new plays, including the new musical this old haunt. MFA Directing, Carnegie Mellon University; BFA Theatre, George Mason University.
