What My Love is For follows Philip (played by screenwriter and co-director Philip Embury), a young gay writer who is stuck living a farm boy’s life with his mother and dopey older brother in rural Virginia.
His whole world is turned upside down when he learns that his beloved great grandmother has died. The good news is that she bequeathed him her summer house in East Hampton. The bad news is that there’s still a considerable debt owed to the bank.
With his witty best friend Katie (Bianca Rutigliano) and his hillbilly brother Dougie (David Maloney) in tow, Philip heads to the Hamptons, where he quickly falls in love with the crumbling beach house.
While crashing a fancy party in search of cash, he also starts catching feelings for Hunter (Marshall Taylor Thurman), a handsome young artist whose mission is to land a wealthy older boyfriend to fund his lifestyle. With time running out to save the house, Philip considers doing the same. He soon has to decide whether saving the house is worth selling himself.
With an incredibly charming cast and whip-smart writing, What My Love is For tells a heartfelt and deeply funny story about love, family and finding the true meaning of home.
