'I had no expectations for SXSW – zero,' says Stone, who is married to a lawyer, loves her dog and works in the writers' room of the CBC series Kim's Convenience. 'It's surreal to have a collective movie-watching experience with your film and a press day. I cried a little bit before it. Now, I'm just so tired. I go to bed pretty early in Toronto and I've been going to bed at 3 a.m. Before that, I hadn't seen midnight in a long time.'

Toronto based filmmaker Stone, who graduated from the AFI, used The New Romantic not only as a chance to pay homage to some of her favourite filmmakers (Nora Ephron, Sofia Coppola, and Jill Soloway, to name a few) and rom-com cliches, but to also have a frank and non-judgmental dialogue about what it means to be a modern young woman in a male driven society.
