“She’s a Keeper,” created by senior Anna Segar and written by senior Tiffany Scales, is a romantic comedy that infuses elements of 2000s romance comedies and sports. The film takes inspiration from movies such as “She’s All That,” “10 Things I Hate about You” and other works inspired from Shakespeare.

The film is about a queer couple, Romie and Jules, who have to face each other in their schools’ soccer regionals. 

“I went to Tif with the idea because I’m not good at writing, and Tif did research on Romeo and Juliet as a whole, and then I really wanted to do a soccer story because I grew up with it,” Segar said. 

The film has involvement from multiple people, including Point Park alumnus Ryan Peters as the director of photography, Thomas Tyndall on sound and Scales as the production designer by proxy. The director and producer positions are still uncertain. 

“She’s a Keeper” has not yet started filming. This is partially due to location and scheduling conflicts, but the main reason is that the crew’s been waiting for the Production 3 (P3) films to finish production.

The script was also undergoing continuous developments until October. 

“The script is never done,” Scales said. “[You just have to] stop writing.”

Segar said the crew didn’t get a chance to do any major fundraising for the group yet, but Scales worked on a period product drive for a P3 film this semester. 

The production did run into several issues, mainly with the scheduling. 

“At one point we were thinking of doing indoors instead, so we were looking up places to film inside, but that is very expensive and we would have had to rewrite some stuff and how it was just working on times and stuff,” Segar said. “We have an intimacy and stunt person as well with us and we’re like – scheduling wise – walking it out.

The crew put an ad out for actors on Backstage and Facebook.

“Something that was very important when we sent out the casting call was specifically saying ‘open to any queer person,’” Segar said. Jules’ actor is still being decided. 

Scales wrote the whole production herself.

“I like forcing my way into writing people’s stuff for them,” Scales said. 

Scales originally planned to write this out to be a feature film afterwards but is now thinking about the decision a little bit more. 

Scales and Segar wanted the film to feature a queer couple. 

“She’s a Keeper” will be shown at the P4 Film Screening at PNC Theater on April 24, 2025. 

“We need people, other majors, to come to the screening. [There’s] so much fun stuff showing there,” Scales said.

The P3 screening will also be held on Dec. 13 at the PNC Theater. 

“Go to the P3 screening and watch a guy get hit in the face with a tampon,” Scales said.
