YELLING FIRE IN AN EMPTY THEATER is a miniDV curio that follows a young college grad, Lisa (Isadora Leiva), as she attempts to “make it” in New York. Filled with conviction that the best plan is no plan at all, she ends up moving in with a slightly older couple and quickly becomes entangled in their bizarre and crumbling relationship. While Lisa struggles to keep her head above water and maintain her unmitigated freedom, her relationships with her roommates, coworkers, and lovers all start to become casualties in the process.
Made for less than the average rent of a Brooklyn apartment, YELLING FIRE IN AN EMPTY THEATER is a loving ode to the young and naive masses who flock to the greatest city on earth every year. First-time filmmaker Justin Zuckerman offers a distinctive mix of the ridiculous and the real, crafting a timeless tale about the struggle between charting your own path or going back home to Florida.
There will be a Q&A discussion with the filmmakers in-attendance after each screening this month.
