Jesus Figueroa, @Thisfunktional of ThisFunktional.com, talks with filmmaker Alvaro Orlando about comedy THE PICKUP ARTIST.
After a devastating breakup, a hopeless romantic signs up for a pick-up artist bootcamp—only to realize the dating advice meant to “fix” him may be the very thing keeping him from real love. Fast, funny, and emotionally honest, The Pickup Artist skewers modern dating rules while celebrating vulnerability, growth, and the courage to show up authentically.
The Pickup Artist will screen at upcoming festivals:
Golden State Film Festival February 26 – March 6, 2026 TCL Chinese Theatres 6
Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival March 4 – 14, 2026 L.A. Live Regal Cinemas
San Diego Film Festival
Pasadena Film Festival
