Skipton Town Hall to show exclusive screening of independent, crowd-funded film

Skipton Town Hall is showing D(e)AD, an independent crowdfunded dark comedy coming to the UK from the United States for exclusive screenings.

The film will be shown on Monday 13th October at 7:30pm.

 

What do you get when you have three generations of comedians in one family, and someone dies?

If you guessed an independent autobiographical self-funded feature-length dark comedy, you’d be absolutely right.

D(e)AD is written by and stars Isabella Roland; and directed by Isabella’s mom, Claudia Lonow, and also features the rest of their family.

Tillie (Isabella Roland), a floundering young woman and her charismatic, alcoholic father (Craig Bierko), struggle to resolve their fractured relationship in the weirdest possible way: after he dies, his ghost appears in mirrors to haunt everyone in the family but Tillie. Tillie’s sister, Violet (Vic Michaelis), mother (Claudia Lonow), grandparents (Mark Lonow and Joanne Astrow), stepfather (Jonathan Schmock), and even Violet’s free-spirited baby daddy (Nick Marini), must do everything they can to make Tillie see her father… even employing a very reform rabbi (Eddie Peppitone) to exorcize him… or else they will be plagued by this ghost forever.
