When newly sober, 40-something Jen finally lands a date with her teacher crush, she mistakes her online stalking for intimacy and turns their dinner into a cringeworthy addict's confessional.
Created by and for women, My Dinner with Steve is a funny, whip-smart, relatable spin on rom-coms, where Bridget Jones meets You’re the Worst.
Uniting a mix of up-and-coming talent with experienced and acclaimed professionals, the film stars Lisa L. Kirchner in her screen debut opposite Todd Sheeler (Dawson’s Creek; McKinsey’s Island), with Eugenie Bondurant (Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It) making her directorial debut.
This short film was shot on location in St. Petersburg, FL as a SAG-AFTRA production.
