Opening Night: First Feature (Special Screening)

First Feature follows intrepid student filmmaker Thomas Reilly-King (TRK) in this comedic and heartfelt documentary inspired by such classics as American Movie, Best Worst Movie, and Kid Icarus. In the tradition of those films, First Feature follows an eccentric artist following his dreams and unwavering dedication to making his first feature film: Enduring Destiny. TRK works four jobs to pay for production, rerecords all the film’s dialogue, writes an 80s-inspired theme song, and even makes action figures for his character. First Feature explores the relationship between the documentary filmmaker and their subject as we look back at this time in their lives and see what happens ten years after telling someone’s story.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) impacts everyone, and everything. UnrepAIrable tackles issues caused by AI in the environment, in the schools, in the homes, and in your mind.

Enduring Destiny follows Max Kenner, an ambitious suburbanite with big dreams of becoming a real life action hero and working for the C.I.A. When Max flies off to a big college, he learns lessons in love, friendship, and foils danger.
