For all you lonely hearts out there dreading today's influx of red rose bouquets, heart-shaped balloons and sickeningly cute stuffed teddy bears, we at Fest300 gift you with this short film about TomorrowWorld, made by Elite Daily in 2014.

It's fresh as ever thanks to its real-life, cinematic footage of TomorrowWorld's kaleidoscopic, free-wheeling crowds – all grinning ear to ear – and its bustling festival grounds spliced with a fictional story of two people from very different backgrounds who've come to TomorrowWorld for two very separate reasons.

First we see the guy, who's gearing up to photograph TomorrowWorld, on the phone with his mom, annoyed and staving off prying questions about his love life – or lack thereof. Next we meet the girl, who's also on the phone with her mom, speaking about taking a break from her less-than-awesome boyfriend. They both end up at the festival, and their chance encounter amidst throngs of fellow party people and their obvious, strong connection remind us why we love festivals so much. Festivals represent the power of freedom and possibility to forge new friendships, to learn from one another, to be who you want to be, to fall in love and above all, change your future – that is, if you're open and ready. 

Lucky for you, peak season is right around the corner, so use this video as inspiration to brush your shoulders off and embrace the fact that your next special someone is just a festival away.
