Flint and Steel (Johnny Storm - First Steps)

"Her smile is like sunshine..." 🪐 In 1960s New York, Johnny Storm gets hired as the leading man in Val dela Cruz's first-ever feature film. As one of the few female directors in the business, Val's got a lot to prove. It's been complicated enough with Johnny's stardom and him running off set almost every day with the Fantastic Four... but Val's got an even bigger problem: she's falling for him.

When a simple book recommendation during a commercial shoot leads to Johnny starring in her Ray Bradbury adaptation, Val thinks she's found the perfect collaborator. He's smart, dedicated, and surprisingly deep beneath the celebrity veneer. But as production continues and the media attention intensifies, Val has to choose: pursue the career she's fought for with no distractions, or risk falling for a guy who could burn her dreams to the ground.

A dinner invitation to meet his family might just force her hand.

Set against the backdrop of atomic-age optimism and mid-century modern magic, this is a story about ambition, romance - and the courage to reach for both.
