Hilarious
family tale
with a cast of
Chicago all stars
debuts October 13
at the Den Theatre
in Wicker Park
Diesel World Productions and Jay Davis Films — producers of the hilarious Choke on That: The Series and Not Another Black Movie — will host a special screening of their new film, Step Dads, on Sunday, October 13 at 6 p.m. at the historic Den Theatre (1331 N. Milwaukee Ave.).
Step Dads tells the story of two foster brothers: Mike, a straight-laced, hardworking accountant; and Jerry, a wild, unstable womanizer. After a fatal twist of infidelity, they gain custody of two foster children. Employing non-traditional parenting methods, the brothers shed a satirical light on the importance of adoption.
While showing that no family is perfect, the film proves that every child deserves to be loved unconditionally and raised in a reliable and stable support system.
“We poke fun at some of the mishaps which come along with the shock of being a new parent,” shares Donte Diesel Williams, Executive Producer. “Ultimately, we hope to spread awareness on adoption, the importance of having fathers and father-figures in the lives of young people and having a familial loving environment.”
