Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, has announced 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. Recognition includes Opening Film at Germany’s Bremen FilmFest, Best Actress at Santa Fe Film Festival, and Best Screenplay at Chicago’s Blow-Up Film Festival.
Written and directed by Daniel M. Hill, Beth + Jeremy And Steve is an offbeat romantic dark comedy that tracks a volatile love triangle through the emotionally scorched sidewalks of Portland, Oregon. It centers on a forbidden romance that develops into a unique love triangle, unfolding between a lovelorn high school swimmer, a thirty-something woman trapped in a marriage, and her jealous, unpredictable husband.
Shot with a visual palette that leans retro-mod, the film drapes its interpersonal chaos in stylized light; 1980s Portland cool with atmospheric and surreal overtones. Hill, who also edited the film, brings a visually distinctive and emotionally resonant story to the screen —a secret affair driven by a mutual love of music, nostalgia, and a quiet desperation of longing.

Written and directed by Daniel M. Hill, the film was produced by Evan Gandy. Pierre Kiecolt-Wahl served as executive producer. The featured cast includes Lucas Friedman (as Jeremy), Briana Ratterman (as Beth), and Matthew Dibiasio (as 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.
