Girl Dinner
Click to Unmute
Two women try to save their failing relationship through an impromptu romantic dinner.
Girl Dinner centers on Amelia and Trinity, two young women navigating a pivotal moment in their relationship, connect for a romantic dinner.

Amelia is in her first year of law school. She recently landed an internship at a major law firm and is on track to continue there as a litigator upon graduation. She is deeply in love with Trinity but, due to work and school demands, is increasingly unable to spend time with her. She understands Trinity’s frustration, but she’s doing all that she can with the time she has. She feels as though Trinity doesn’t appreciate that the time she is investing in school and work will pay dividends for them both – in just a few years. Trinity is newly starving artist. She loved that her work at a pottery shop allowed her to paint and connect with other artists. She was actually a bit of a workaholic. But recently let go, Trinity’s job search has endured for far longer than expected. And during this stretch, she has found a new appreciation for life – for the little things. She loves Amelia so much, but is growing resentful. She understands why Amelia does what she does, but it doesn’t feel good.

As competing priorities and shifting perspectives create tension, a seemingly simple dinner becomes a space for confrontation, vulnerability, and reflection.
