The Premiere
"The Premiere" centers on Jacob (Grant Kennedy Lewis), a young filmmaker facing numerous challenges during his debut movie premiere. Throughout the night, he is hounded by mounting issues and paranoid delusions appearing on the screen. Disaster looms at every turn; in the 90 minutes leading up to the premiere, his family argues, audience members complain, the popcorn machine breaks, and the movie file doesn’t work. All of these nuisances are exasperated by the rumored arrival of a famous actor. Jacob struggles to overcome doubt, all while fending off criticisms, expectations, and disturbing figments of his imagination.
"The Premiere" is a 100% Illinois-made movie, made by Chicago filmmakers. Jon Silver directed and wrote the screenplay. Cast includes Steppenwolf actor Grant Kennedy Lewis, Second City mainstage alum Adam Schreck, Greg Hollimon (Strangers with Candy), Rick Hall (K.C. Undercover), and Natalie West (The Conners).
