Matinee Baby
2024. Directed by Thom Hilton. Not Rated. Runtime: 20 minutes.
In this raunchy and outlandish queer comedy, best friends Robby and Noah-Lee – employees at the historic Clinton Street Theater – find themselves confronted by a parade of increasingly wacky, genre-tinged suitors. Created by local writer Thom Hilton and featuring a key performance by drag performer Carla Rossi, MATINEE BABY arrives on screen one year after its successful community crowdfunding campaign, with contributions from over 130 donors and two dozen local businesses. The film is set to make its festival debut in March.

This special premiere event will include an interactive lobby display of makeup designs by Sprout Chinn and costumes by Lucas O’Brien, former fashion editor at VOGUE. The film will screen following a concert of selections from the film’s soundtrack by Jewelry Exchange, Jajoma, and The Apricots. A moderated Q&A with select members of the cast and crew to follow.
