The Premiere

Überblick

Jacob is a young filmmaker at his first big movie premiere. Almost immediately, the screening seems doomed due to technical issues and phantom appearances on the screen. The expectations are high and the pressure is mounting as the tension grows with every complaint and problem to solve. In the 90 minutes leading up to the premiere, his family shows up too early, his divorced parents bicker, the cast complains about their screen time, the projectionist can’t get the files to play and the only press in attendance sees every embarrassing moment. All of these nuisances are exacerbated by the rumored arrival of a famous Actor. Annoying audience members and paranoid visions of the future keep Jacob stressed and hurried. Jacob must overcome doubts, coordinate with the venue and projectionist, all while fending off criticisms, expectations, and disturbing figments of his imagination.
