Friday / 1:15 PM / Thalian Main
After a disturbing event, Yvonne drives down to her friend Camille’s bucolic new home for some time away. She’s welcomed by A.J. and Isaac, two new friends of Camille, who also maybe live there. The group promises a weekend of homemade meals from fresh, local produce and parlor games by candlelight. But when Yvonne develops troubling symptoms from a tick bite, the rural paradise fades away revealing a breeding ground for a disturbing new life.
SHORT BEFORE FEATURE:
Marriaginalia
Director: Hannah Cheesman / 3:36
Producers: Hannah Cheesman, Jacqueline de Niverville
With signature wit, and Kayla Lorette and Rodrigo Fernandez Stoll’s own brand of performance sass, Hannah Cheesman takes a magnifying glass to married life, hilariously deconstructing a couple’s lived-in dynamic in three brilliantly concise acts.
