The Story:

A romantic and comedic tale of a young couple whose passionate romance takes them for a ride down the all-too-powerful path of first love.

Set against the chaotic and hilarious backdrop of college lifestyle in New York City, their story brings to light the ever-present conflict between true love and the temptation to wander astray from commitment. When mischievous friends enter the scene, Al (Prinze) and Imogen (Julia) are confronted with obstacles that add to the highlights and pitfalls of their love affair. Ultimately, their journey allows them to face the future, with some unexpected results.




Julia on 'Down To You':

�What appealed to me most about the script is that it talks about first love and how strange and intense and wonderful that is. I think love is especially on my mind lately and I related to a lot of things that my character experiences throughout the course of the script."

"One of the things that appealed to me about Imogen is that you really see her personality change as she goes through college. She starts off as kind of a silly and goofy young girl and then grows up into a sophisticated young woman. I'm about to enter college, so I'm not sure, but it seems to me that college is a time of really discovering one's self and you come out of it as a different person."

"I had so much fun making this movie. The person I obviously came in contact with most is Freddie. It"s such a wonderful pleasure to work with him because he's such a thoughtful and dedicated actor and he really put his heart and soul into this role. That just made me want to try harder. But at the same time he's really laid back, and really fun to hang out with. He's almost like the older brother I never had because he would tease me and play tricks on me a lot."
