Award-winning filmmaker Abigail Bruley brings her acclaimed Main Trilogy from Philadelphia to LA for one mind-bending night only. Called “an extremely insightful anthem” and “every moment of the viewing an adventure,” this surreal, darkly comic trilogy follows Main—a sharp-tongued woman stumbling through reality and the afterlife with help from punk icons Ted Leo and Marisa Dabice (Mannequin Pussy), and a cosmic score by Sun Ra Arkestra.
PLUS: Shorts by LA’s most original voices:
JESUS 2 (Jesse Moynihan):
In a dystopian future where immortality is forced upon mankind, two pirate siblings embark on a quest to eliminate a malevolent figure and break the curse of eternal life. A neo-psychedelic meditation on death and the afterlife by Adventure Time and Midnight Gospel artist Jesse Moynihan.
I’M CUTTING YOU OFF (Dan Colanduno):
After a disastrous psychedelic experience lands him in the hospital, a failed musician phones his loved ones with horrible, awkward news. Now he must decide: seek help, or spiral deeper into mania.
ALWAYS CRYING ALWAYS IN LOVE (Justin Moynihan) – preview scenes:
A feature “traumedy” about roller skating, falling in love, and being messed up by life. Follows sad sap Shane Sama through love-sick teenage years and midlife crisis, both fraught with messy romantic situations and a burning desire to do a backflip on roller skates.
Hosted by the irrepressible Kat Toledo — comedian, performer, and the brain behind LA’s wildest film and comedy nights.
