Dark Age-Gap Comedy from Writer-Director Daniel M. Hill Sets Digital Debut for North American VOD Platforms and DVD on May 30
Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, proudly announces the acquisition of VOD rights to the romantic dark Comedy BETH + JEREMY AND STEVE, which will be available to rent/own on all North American digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms, as well as on DVD, starting May 30, 2025. Shot in Portland, Oregon and capturing the city’s retro and mod culture, BETH + JEREMY AND STEVE has won acclaim including as Opening Film at Germany’s Bremen FilmFest, Best Actress at Santa Fe Film Festival, and Best Screenplay at Chicago’s Blow-Up Film Festival.
Described as an age-gap romantic dark comedy with atmospheric and surreal overtones, BETH + JEREMY AND STEVE centers on a unique love triangle that unfolds between a disillusioned high school senior, a thirty-something woman at a marital crossroads, and her volatile husband. Director Daniel Hill, who also edited the film, brings a visually distinctive and emotionally resonant story to the screen — a narrative driven by music, nostalgia, and the quiet desperation of longing.
Written and directed by Daniel M. Hill, BETH + JEREMY AND STEVE was produced by Evan Gandy. Pierre Kiecolt-Wahl served as executive producer. The featured cast includes Lucas Friedman (‘Jeremy’), Briana Ratterman (‘Beth’), and Matthew Dibiasio (‘Steve’).
“It’s been great meeting the audiences all over the world and having them tell me how much they
love and identify with one of the three characters,” said filmmaker Daniel Hill. “It’s never the same character and the audience seems to bring their own stories to this one, I love it.”
Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire BETH + JEREMY AND STEVE directly with the filmmakers and Glen Reynolds of Circus Road Films.
