I'd Rather Be Calm

I'd Rather Be Calm is an unsold television pilot set in Cleveland, Ohio, that follows a group of single adults navigating their romantic lives and relationships. The series centers on the patrons of a swinging singles restaurant and bar, where chance encounters spark drama, flirtation, and connection. The ensemble cast captures the social dynamics of people seeking companionship and meaningful relationships in a casual dining environment. Though the pilot never made it to series, I'd Rather Be Calm offers a snapshot of 1970s dating culture and the singles scene that defined an era. The show explores the humor and heartache of modern romance through the eyes of everyday people looking for love in unexpected places.
