Post-SU:F, Steven just completed therapy and has finally enrolled in a university. Lapis Lazuli and Peridot decide to make "the meep morp YOU can OWN" - a movie with Steven's newfound college resources since he's taking a film class as his extracurricular (he's studying music at the Empire City version of Julliard) - and gain notoriety for being the freshest filmmakers since they're literally aliens who taught themselves cinematic language.
