Brooklyn-based director Tynan DeLong discusses improvisation, backstory, and the summer camp vibes on the set of Dad & Step-Dad.
, the titular pair, Jim and Dave, greet each other while both sporting well-kempt goatees and khakis—they would’ve also been wearing the same type of dorky, rectangular sunglasses, except Jim notices Dave’s shades and sneakily removes the clip-on part of his specs. The two men are “basically are the same guys, but there’s a fundamental disconnect between them that they’re not realizing that,” the film’s director and editor, Tynan DeLong, tells me over Zoom.
The movie itself follows Jim, Dave, Branson, and Suzie as they spend a long weekend together upstate, and the tensions between the first two become more and more apparent as the days wear on. There were only 11 crew members in total on the shoot, including DeLong, and they all stayed in the same AirBnb while filming .
He continues: “The thing about improvised scenes is that oftentimes, back themselves into a corner, and wouldn’t have an idea of where to go. And that’s where the best things come from, because they’re stuck in their corner, gotta figure out what to say, and something great comes out. For example, when they’re talking in the living room, and Anthony has that line, ‘Age of consent in this household is 13,’—that wasn’t in the outline.
DeLong also edited the film—a hefty task considering the improvisation element, but he had plenty of experience from the earlier shorts. He dove in, aiming for a consistency in takes that would make“The thing about editing a comedy is like, time is your best friend. So the things you think are really funny at the beginning, as time wears on, it’s like, ‘Ah it’s not so funny anymore, we can cut that,’” DeLong says.’s runtime is less than 80 minutes, and there’s no dead weight to be found.
