Event Summary:

Picturehouse 441 and ACE are proud to be partnering on a series of live virtual Q&As as part of our mutual efforts to promote film literacy. Join us for a Q&A with actor Greg Sestero, as he discusses his work in the 2003 unintentionally hilarious cult drama The Room. The Room is this generation's Rocky Horror Picture Show – an I-can't-believe-anyone-made-a-movie-like-this midnight movie sensation courtesy of enigmatic director, producer, writer, star Tommy Wiseau and editor Eric Yalkut Chase. Now billed as a “black comedy”, there’s nothing in this unintentionally hilarious film that indicates it was ever intended to be anything but a drama. Full of now-iconic one-liners – “Oh hai, Mark!” – gratuitous sex scenes, and frequent shots of a spoon painting sitting on a table (at midnight screenings, audience members throw plastic spoons every time the picture appears), The Room is a joy-inducing spectacle. And, to top it all off, co-star and frequent Wiseau conspirator, Greg Sestero, wrote a bestselling book, The Disaster Artist, that chronicles the making of The Room that was itself adapted into an Oscar-nominated film. The Roomis our programmer Joshua Handler’s favorite cult movie that is a passionately-made work which has given the world over 20 years of happiness and nonstop laughter. This event will be a Zoom Webinar on Monday, August 5 at 9PM ET/6PM PT. **ACE members, please check your email for free ticket information.**
