Short Summary

My Date With Adam, a short film by award winning writer Dennis Schebetta, is a clever and quirky romantic comedy. The script and production plans for My Date With Adam were entered into the 2013 Steeltown Film Factory Competition, a competition that received over 250 short script submissions. After three grueling “pitch” sessions, Dennis emerged as the Ellen Weiss Kander Award winner and gained funding to shoot the movie this summer. Steeltown granted $20,000 to make this movie which was well used on the talented cast and crew, equipment rentals, location fees, props, wardrobe, special fx, catering, etc.

The money that we receive from this campaign will go towards post-production and marketing and distribution.

Your support will help make My Date With Adam complete for its premiere screening in the Three Rivers Film Festival in the Fall of 2013.

Every little bit helps, and we appreciate your support.

About the Film

Sarah, a wedding planner, uses an internet dating site to find the perfect guy. Despite her unrealistic criteria, she meets Adam, who seems like he could be the one. Perfect looks. Perfect smile. Smart, funny, and romantic. She goes on a date with him and he's the perfect gentleman but the kiss at the end of the night reveals Adam is not what he seems--he's actually a robot created by a Carnegie Mellon roboticist.

My Date With Adam is a clever and quirky romantic comedy that will have you wondering about your own search for perfection in those you love.(Learn more about the film and read the script here.)
