A gay mans romantic frustrations set the stage for a spectacular dance number in Sweater which is writer, director and actor Nick Borenstein s new short film.

HuffPost got an exclusive sneak peek at Sweater, which is being released online Friday after an April premiere at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival . The film follows Corey (played by Borenstein), who trudges into a coffee shop after a first date falls flat.

After locking eyes with a handsome barista, Corey decides the afternoon may not be a complete waste after all. In what Borenstein likens to a Beyonc moment, the characters imagination takes over as he leads caf patrons through a wild routine, set to the tune of Leo Justi and Brazzabelles Swipe It Off .

I wanted to tell this funny, joyful story that also commented on the all-too-relatable themes of rejection and worth, Borenstein, who is based in New York, told HuffPost. I really do believe dancing makes everything better.
