a correspondent on “The Daily Show,” and Wendy, played by Francesca Reale, who was in the third season of “Stranger Things.” The duo first meets through a dating app called Meet Cute, and they eventually become friends with benefits after trying and failing in the New York City dating arena. The film takes place in Manhattan, but because it was an indie film on a budget, Feingold said finding locations to shoot scenes took some creativity.

In the feature debut of director Jonah Feingold, “Dating & New York,” which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year, the filmmaker makes his attempt at the romantic comedy by way of modern dating practices such as the reliance on apps and how technology has informed and devalued human connection. It’s an ambitious and, at times, messy feature that attempts to both deconstruct and honor the genre he clearly loves.

Friends with benefits is not a new concept (hell, there’s a movie with that exact title), but friends with benefits in the millennial age? Maybe that’s a slightly different view of the phenomenon, especially as millennials and gen Z are said to move fluidly between partners, much more so than Gen X and above.

With its signature liveliness, unapologetic attitude, and visual splendor, New York City has so long been a set of romantic comedies that this location has become a cliché. So, how does Jonah Feingold, the writer/director of “Dating & New York,” aim to make his mark on this sparkling skyline? By creating a postmodern rom-com that blatantly snatches from iconic influences to deliver an irreverent commentary on the genre and modern romance.
