La La Land had audiences all around the world falling in love with Emma Stone, including one Phoenix high school student who hopes to catch her eye by channeling his inner Ryan Gosling.

Sure, the video is a little cringe-y at times, but as Emma herself sang: 'Here's to the ones who dream, foolish as they may seem.'

Best of luck, Jacob!
