See You Next Tuesday is a 2013 independent drama film directed by Drew Tobia and his first full length feature film.[1] The film had its world premiere on October 13, 2013 at the London Film Festival and Eleanore Pienta as a pregnant woman that has a complicated personal relationship with her family.

Tobia initially came up with the concept for the film after viewing one of Eleanore Pienta's photography projects, which featured a pregnant woman that had a phobia of her fetus contracting an infection by flies.[2] From there Tobia wrote the film's script and added additional characters to round out the cast. Filming took place in Brooklyn in Greenpoint, Sunset Park, and Bushwick.

Synopsis

Mona (Eleanore Pienta) is an unpleasant pregnant woman that ends up getting fired from her job as a checkout clerk at a grocery store in Brooklyn. She's later kicked out of her mother May's (Dana Eskelson) apartment, which forces her to move in with her lesbian sister Jordan (Molly Plunk) and her girlfriend Sylve (Keisha Zollar). Mona's relationship with Jordan is as toxic as her relationship with her mother, and her presence soon puts an additional strain on Jordan and Sylve's own relationship.
