Smalltown Society is taking over the historic Chabot Theater On October 16th. Join us for a special screening of the cult fantasy-horror film Mandy (90% on Rotten Tomatoes), hosted by award-winning writer and director Alex Backes.
Starring Nicolas Cage and set in the Pacific Northwest in 1983, Mandy tells the story of Red Miller and Mandy Bloom, whose peaceful life is shattered by a sadistic cult. Red embarks on a surreal, action-packed journey of bloody vengeance, backed by an incredible soundtrack.
Alex Backes is an acclaimed writer, actor, and director whose work includes the pilot Shark Bites (which led to a development deal with The Walt Disney Company), the viral LucasFilm short Star Wars: The Old Republic – Disorder, with over 20 million views online, and the recent music video for the band Drug Church entitled Demolition Man.
His independent short film That’s Our Time won the Grand Jury Prize at the American Cinematheque’s Proof Film Festival and will be screened before the film starts.
Pre Show starts at 7 PM feat a screening of ‘That’s Our Time’, music videos, BTS footage, and more. Mandy starts at 7:30 PM. Admission is $5 + a $1 membership fee to Chabot’s Secret Screen. Smalltown Society Members get in for $5.
