Comedy, Short Films, 17-Sep-2024
A performer in upstate New York spirals as she tries to bring in an audience for her latest show. Emily DeForrest directs and stars in “Show Tonight,” a comedic look at a woman’s last-minute promotional efforts leading up to her performance. Lucy snaps some selfies and eagerly sends them to a guy she’s been seeing. Despite her excitement, the man (played by Simple Town’s Felipe Di Poi) pleads to Lucy to stop texting him. At sound-check with the tech, Lucy adamantly addresses concerns about the audio levels being too low. With an unexpected punchline, the film offers a brief glimpse at the struggles of attracting attention in the creative arts. -JM. Director/ Screenwriter/ Cast: Emily DeForest.
