CHICAGO – What better film to have a World Premiere in Chicago than local filmmaker Jon Silver’s “The Premiere,” happening at the Davis Theater in Chicago on August 27th (8pm). Art meets life in a wacky and poignant way for a director during the premiere day of his latest film. For tickets and deets, click THE PREMIERE.

Shot on location at Chicago’s historic Music Box Theatre, Jacob (Grant Kennedy Lewis) is a young filmmaker facing numerous challenges during his debut movie premiere. Disaster looms at every turn, and as the clock ticks to the 90 minutes leading up to the premiere, his family argues, audience members complain, the popcorn machine breaks, and the movie file doesn’t work. All of these nuisances are exasperated by the rumored arrival of a famous actor. Jacob struggles to overcome doubt, all while fending off criticisms, expectations, and disturbing figments of his imagination.
