Gallner and Skeggs create accidental magic together.

Adam Rehmeier
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kyle Gallner performed his own vocals and learned guitar for the role; the band's songs were written by director Adam Rehmeier's actual former bandmate.
The film was shot in Detroit's actual decaying suburbs, capturing a specific post-industrial Midwestern aesthetic rarely seen in rom-coms. It premiered at Sundance 2020 right before the pandemic shutdown, making its theatrical release nearly nonexistent.

Saw Dinner in America at Revelation last year. Loved it. Reminded me of Repo Man. Great to see it's got a DVD release.
