SUMMARY:Film Screening on the Mainstage: D(e)AD
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a very special screening of D(e)AD, a new dark comedy written by and starring Isabella Roland, alongside Isabella’s family.\nWhat 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 starring Isabella Roland (Dropout.tv, Sex Lives Of College Girls); and directed by and starring Isabella’s mom, Claudia Lonow (creator/showrunner of How to Live With Your Parents for the Rest of Your Life, Accidentally on Purpose, Good Girls Don’t and Rude Awakening); and also the rest of their family.\n \nSynopsis:\nTillie (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 Pepitone) to exorcize him… or else they will be plagued by this ghost forever.\n \nThis event will take place upstairs at Diversionary on the Mainstage.\n \nCast: \nTillie – Isabella Roland\nDaniel – Craig Bierko\nFrankie – Claudia Lonow\nViolet – Vic Michaelis  \nCarl – Jonathan Schmock\nEric – Nick Marini\nOwen – Brennan Lee Mulligan\nRenee – Joanne Astrow\nHarris – Mark Lonow\nRabbi Barry – Eddie Pepitone\nDoctor – Zac Oyama  \nYoung Tillie – Winslow Schwartzman\n \nWritten by Isabella Roland\nDirected by Claudia Lonow\n \nProduced by Erin Dellorso and Julianne Dowler\nCinematography AJ Young\nEdited by Jacquelyn Le\n \nExecutive Producers:\nIsabella Roland\nClaudia Lonow\nJonathan Schmock\nBrennan Lee Mulligan  \nMark Lonow\nJoAnne Astrow\n \nLanguage/Genre : English / Dark Comedy\n \nhttps://www.deadthefilm.com/ ( https://www.deadthefilm.com/ )\nWatch the trailer here\n
