BBQ Girl

"At a wild house party, a young man’s casual story about a disastrously messy date collides with reality when he meets a woman whose love of barbecue sauce might just challenge his shallow notions of what makes someone "datable.""

BBQ Girl is a short comedic screenplay about appearances, embarrassment, and unexpected attraction. George, a smooth-talking twenty-something, entertains friends with a humiliating story about a past date who drowned herself in barbecue sauce. But when he crosses paths with Tina—a lively, sauce-loving woman—he’s forced to confront his own vanity and decide whether genuine connection is more important than a spotless first impression. Equal parts cringe and charm, the script blends witty dialogue, party energy, and saucy slapstick into a playful look at how romance can be messy in more ways than one.
