Love Can Be Bought (Patreon)

My third short film, coming in at just under six minutes.

Mark is a billionaire bachelor who loves to take care of women... lots of women... He attends a lucrative event that connects the most wealthy and powerful people in the world, men and women. It's not an auction; it's an extremely expensive dating service.The men pay to get into a private room with the beauty they're interested in. The catch is, all the other suitors are there as well, all waiting to get their turn. They make offers of support and the women judge the offers and the man, making their selection. Love never factors in.In the private room, the men get to... know... the woman. This is expected and viewed as an opportunity to bewitch the men, driving up the offers.

The women don't mind sharing as long as the man can deliver. Once they select a suitor they enter his private waiting room until the end of the event. Some bachelors end up taking home quite the following, none more than Mark. The other suitors start to realize he's cleaning house, but he just keeps on bidding... and winning...

Long story short, Mark goes on a honeymoon with this new family unlike any of us will ever see, and makes the most of it.
