A chance meeting between a cocky American and a plucky Brit reveals a whole world of misperceptions. This humorous short film, filled with witty fun, shows how stereotypes and biases influence our views of different cultures.

Alan Dorfman is a writer and director from Queens, New York. While spending time in London, Alan was intrigued by the abundant and often humorous misperceptions between American and British cultures, on which he based "The UK of A".
