Synopsis: "It's the beginning of a new semester," Max says at the start, "full of potential that will surely go to waste."

"It's the beginning of a new semester," Max says at the start, "full of potential that will surely go to waste." Meet MAX, a college student whose universe is defined by the "cautionary tale" of Annie Hall, a guy who only reaches out to the world through a radio show that he prays nobody listens to. Meet Max's friends. There's CHARLES, the handsome thespian (and Rat Pack wanna-be) who has no trouble meeting girls but still believes he's unlucky at love. There's SAM, whose long-term relationship with his girlfriend JEN is now held together mostly by emotional inertia. There's AMANDA, the sensitive Ani DiFranco fan who can't get through to the inscrutable SCOTT. And finally there is BETH, Max's closest friend until a disastrous date ruins their friendship, possibly forever. The most important person in Max's life, however, is Annie Hall. When Charles suggests that Max's favorite movie-- and favorite obsession-- is sabotaging his romantic relationships, Max resists the idea, but quickly finds plenty of evidence to support the theory. The theory can't possibly be correct-- right? Does the problem lie with Max and his friends, or is a 20-year-old movie about failed relationships really causing this 20-year-old's relationships to fail? And can Max really make it work with JULIE, the beautiful girl who happens to be his radio show's only audience member, without Annie Hall to guide him? Burning Annie is a humorous slice of college life, filled with authentic characters and moments sure to strike a chord. It is an up-close look at the fallout of our media-saturated society, a love story for the post-existential generations, and a wise-beyond-its-hero's-years study of human interaction that delivers poignancy and laughs to spare.
