The film follows the story of a young man looking for love. He sets out with his best friend to make history to impress a girl. But will a world record be enough? The film is a lighthearted look at age-old love language exaggeration.

Directors Dossett and Travis, who are making their short film debut at deadCenter, said they are thrilled to be premiering "Oh My Guinness" at the deadCenter Film Festival.

"We had a great time making this film and we hope the audience has fun watching our shenanigans," said Dossett. “We’re a couple of friends who enjoy telling stories,” added Travis, “it’s fun to make people laugh. It seems like that’s what the world needs more of these days.”

In addition to directing, Dossett and Travis also star in the film. “Oh My Guinness” was written by Andy Dossett, Kyle Travis, and Christine Dossett. The film’s production team includes Dossett, Travis, and Maria Swindell Gus.
