- [Narrator] For the past three years,
Jubilee has been working on a feature-length documentary
and it's just been announced that we'll be premiering
at Tribeca Film Festival.
The film is called "Accepted.'
It's about a small school in rural Louisiana
that became famous for sending most of its students
to Ivy league schools,
and we follow four students through a senior year,
what ends up becoming a really crazy tumultuous
and challenging senior year,
and we cannot wait for you to see it.
Follow acceptedfilm everywhere
and acceptedfilm.com to learn more,
but I just wanna take a moment to say thank you.
Thank you for being with me
and with our team throughout this journey,
and we can't wait to not only bring you our content
here online, but now bring you empathy-fueled content
in film and in television as well.
So, more to come, stay tuned, but we love you. Thank you.
- Wait, let's get to the juicy ones.
Have you guys ever cheated?
(everyone laughing) (scattered nos)
- Okay, same.
(everyone laughing)
(upbeat music)
(clock ticking) - We can start. I'm Jules.
- I'm Izzy.
- We've been dating for-
- 15 months. Yeah. - 15 months. Yeah.
And I'm a PhD student and I studied renewable energy.
- I work in mental healthcare and we met on Hinge.
- Yeah.
- We've been dating for a little over two years.
We just kind of met through friends.
Like, all of our friends knew each other
but we just never met, and then we met one day and yeah.
(Sady laughs)
- I'm from Norway, I'm a photographer.
- I'm an actor, writer, entrepreneur.
- We met in Berlin on Tinder.
- (laughing) Yeah, we met on Tinder much like you guys,
and we did long distance for four years in college.
- We've been going out for five years.
- Ooh, wow.
- The fact that we clicked so well was,
you know, almost surprising and I feel like
over the past five years of our relationship,
I've just been thinking about
what does compatibility truly mean?
- For us, it just means that we have
the same views and values.
- Similar interests. - Yeah.
- How do you resolve problems? How do you communicate?
- How do you adjust to each other in different situations?
- Values and shared interests were the two main things
and the sort of goals we have
and where we see our lives going.
- [Daniel] How was it having
a long distance relationship, guys?
- Challenging.
- Yeah, I think- so, we had met only five months before,
you know, we started long distance,
so we kind of had to think,
did we wanna hold each other back in college?
But then, the weeks ticked down
until it was finally time to, you know, our planned breakup,
but then we just couldn't hold ourselves to do it
and we just ended up sticking together
and it worked out and now we're living together.
- Yup. Five years later, here we are.
- Just their story of staying together
committed long distance all throughout college,
like, we did it for a year and a half and it's hard.
- When you guys met, you said in Berlin,
were you studying there or were you just traveling there?
Like, how did that...?
- I was studying abroad for a year.
- I asked some friends of mine,
"What are you gonna do this weekend?"
And they were just like,
"We're going to Berlin. Do you want to come?"
I don't know, they had their own plans
so I was kind of checking on Tinder
to see if anyone was cute there, and I met this guy.
- Daniel and Noah's story, I like their story.
It was like a fairytale almost.
It seemed like they were meant to be together.
- So, is this your first serious relationship?
- Mhm.
- I think that's important to note,
not because it means that it won't be your relationship,
but also, I think that a lot of understanding compatibility
comes with having experiences before
that maybe weren't as good.
So, it gives a lot of confidence in compatibility
if you have had incompatible relationships before.
- I would just counter that on the note that
just because I hadn't been in a serious relationship
doesn't mean that I haven't been dating
and dating many different people and having my experiences
and learning what it means for me, personally,
to find the one that I wanna call mine.
- When other people were bringing up
the fact that I hadn't been in other relationships
as maybe a reason why we're less compatible,
I just know in my heart that you're the one for me.
- I mean, we met right after I graduated high school
and she was a senior,
so I felt like that was not challenging,
but it was just different to be in a committed relationship
so young, when most people, like all my friends,
were all single and I was the only one.
I definitely could see why people- 'cause we're so young,
there is that stereotype that we still have so much
that we need to experience in life.
I also know us and I know how we are
and I know how we interact.
- It's really hard because, you know,
I don't wanna fault you guys, obviously,
for not having more time. You know what I mean?
- Yeah. No matter what, I feel like time and you guys
(clock ticking) obviously all seem like
amazing couples, you know what I mean?
- And especially as queer people,
we need time to come to our terms with ourselves
and, you know, take the step of dating each other.
- I feel like you guys are one.
Just like, it's a majority of components.
One you have time, you have distance.
- Five years. - You have living together,
your plans for the future.
- So, you guys need to move up there.
(couples chattering)
- I think Bradley and Eric were clearly very compatible.
- I wanna say that we were the most
because, I mean, we know us
the best. - 'Cause everybody wants
to be the first. - Yeah.
And I think everyone has a right to rank themself first.
- [Crew] If any of you thinks they should be number one,
you can just stand where they're standing,
behind them or something.
(people laughing)
- They're number two, technically, now.
(everyone laughing)
- I think we should be higher, but that's just my opinion.
(Noah laughs)
- I agree. I feel that we have that other aspect to it
that we were talking about
the guys on the first place here have.
We share a lot of the same things there.
I would maybe argue putting us in second,
but I'm also like, "I don't know."
- I feel like, I don't know.
I feel like between you guys,
I honestly feel really strongly
about you guys being number two. You know what I mean?
'Cause I feel like you guys have such a strong relationship
and you've lived together and you've built that bond.
- At the end of the day, it came down to lived experience.
The younger couple hadn't been together quite as long
and hadn't-
- But I feel bad about that almost.
- Yeah. - Honestly, looking back
at it, I almost feel bad.
- I feel like just because we haven't
been through hardships,
(clock ticking) that makes you guys
put us in fourth.
I'm honestly fine with whatever,
'cause I know that all of us are compatible.
- [Daniel] I'm gonna say I'm happy where I am, I think.
- [Noah] Sure.
- [Sady] Yeah.
- [Julia] I'm fine with whatever.
- [Crew] Were you satisfied with that ranking?
- Yes and no.
The end of the day, it's subjective
and we thought that all of the other couples
were cute and they went well together, so.
- I know that we are compatible,
so I'm like, "Oh I wish other people can see that,"
but there's only so much that you can show people
without showing them everything.
- [Crew] Can you please put on your ear muffs?
(light music)
Do you think there's a difference
between how straight couples view compatibility
versus how same sex couples view compatibility?
- I think the basic elements of what humans want
in a relationship is probably the same:
love, comfortability- - It's pretty universal, yeah.
- honesty, respect.
Of course the dynamics are going to be different
and the obstacles that we face as couples
are going to be different.
- At the end of the day, I feel like we're all just people
who are lookin' for love,
who, you know, hopefully find their mate,
someone that they're super crazy about
who's crazy about them.
- I think most people use interests
and values and goals.
- And the way that you feel when you're with them, too,
so I don't see how that would really differ
with a same sex couple compared to a straight couple.
- I will say, though, for this couple,
I feel like their personalities and their temperaments
really compliment each other.
Couple number two, I feel like they're
a little more compatible.
She's going through a PhD program
and they're makin' it work,
so I kind of want to sort of give the dark horse nod
to them for number one and give them number two.
- Couple number three,
I remember he said something how he had dated before.
He always felt, "How do you know when you're with the one?"
And then with him he felt it immediately and knew,
and I think I just see that in them
and that's why I would rank three higher.
- I think three should be ranked higher.
I can just tell, even from their physical presence,
they're very comfortable with one another.
- [Jessica] Should we move them?
(couples agreeing)
Should we move three to two?
- [Player] Yes.
(upbeat music)
- [Crew] Does anybody wanna express where four should stand?
Should they stay number four or should they be reranked?
- There's still a lot they haven't done yet together.
- When I was younger,
those were some of the most open, passionate,
huge relationships 'cause you're so raw,
and I'm so conflicted because I feel like
they give each other so much,
and when you give each other so much,
you're gonna be more compatible.
- I think, still, for me, there's just so many unknowns
in terms of their compatibility,
partly 'cause of age and life experience
and stuff like that.
- I don't know if it really fully makes sense
to just assume that they will have trouble
because they haven't been together longer.
- [Polka-Dot Shirt] Oh definitely, yeah.
We're not assuming that they're gonna-
- No, no, I'm not saying, but it's kind of just like,
you know, that's almost the argument.
You're like, "Well, you don't know things,
so they might not be compatible."
- So, I guess this is it.
- Raise of hands to keep this line-up. One, two, three.
(dramatic music)
- Regardless of the metrics that we used
to come to this conclusion,
we would've been happy and fourth place, too,
because it's subjective and arguably,
these are all amazing couples and...
- I was really, really moved by all of your guys' stories,
and I'm so happy that you guys are happy
and I wish the best for all of us.
- [Daniel] Same to you guys. Totally.
(couples agreeing)
- It's hard to really say who is more compatible
than the other person when we only have so much time
to get to know them.
- There's so many things to consider.
It's kind of hard to put someone there and there and there.
I feel like looking at all those couples today
just really, really affirmed in my heart
that I made the right choice.
- I love you and this was really fun.
- Thank you so much for being willing to grow with me
and I'm so glad that I found somebody
that I'm so, so compatible with.
(whispers) Love you.
