Introducing the #NashFilm57 Narrative Feature Official Selections.

CROOKS (dir. Mickey Keating)

Fri, Sep 25th, 7:00 PM @ Regal Green Hills Theater 14

Faye and Johnny rob a gangsters’ poker den. Faye double crosses Johnny and takes off with the money and is soon pursued by the oldest and deadliest assassin in town. Worse still, Faye meets Blanche, a friendly but crazy waitress, at a truck stop.

TAKE ME HOME (dir. Liz Sargent)

Sun, Sep 27th, 2:00 PM @ Regal Green Hills Theater 5

Anna, a 38-year-old Korean adoptee, cares for her aging parents in a fragile balance of meeting each others’ needs. When a Florida heat wave shatters their family and Anna’s routine, her future is uncertain until she creates a world where she can thrive. Liz Sargent’s intimate debut drama examines the shifting demands placed on a unique — and uniquely challenged — family in a Florida suburb. Working with a terrific ensemble, the writer-director details the struggles of Anna (newcomer Anna Sargent, the director’s sister), fellow adopted sibling Emily (Ali Ahn), and devoted father Bob (Victor Slezak), who is covering signs of dementia. #takemehomefilm #annasargent

STRANGE RIVER (dir. Jaume Claret Muxart)

Fri, Sep 25th, 12:00 PM @ Regal Green Hills Theater 14

While cycling along the Danube with his family, 16-year-old Didac encounters a mysterious boy in the river. This meeting changes their trip and affects Didac’s family dynamics.

HOT WATER (dir. Ramzi Bashour)

Sun, Sep 27th, 3:30 PM @ Regal Green Hills Theater 4

When tightly-wound Lebanese-American professor Layal (Lubna Azabal) runs out of options for her perpetually delinquent teenage son Daniel (Daniel Zolghadri), she sets out on a cross-country drive to hand him off to his father. Featuring exceptional performances, sardonic humor, and stunning landscapes, Ramzi Bashour’s lyrical debut is a road-trip dramedy about letting go and rediscovery, bickering and bittersweet in equal measure as it unravels cultural clashes and parental anxieties.

Introducing the #NashFilm57 Episodic Shorts Official Selections.

BANANA (dir. Raghav Puri, Kieran Barry)

Sat, Sep 26th, 1:00 PM @ Regal Green Hills Theater 4

Dizzy, a fiercely unsuccessful mukbang YouTuber, is determined to make a living doing the one thing she truly loves: eating. Her family, who mostly loves her, thinks she should get a real job. When she wakes up to find one of her videos has gone mini-viral, she realizes there is a cost to turning her culture into content. As she struggles with what it means to be Korean in America today, she’s confronted by hard-hitting questions like: “Who has the right to profit off Korean culture?,” “Wait, kimchi is cool now?,” and “Is my grandma flirting with my boyfriend?!”

DADDIES BOI (dir. Jason Avezzano)

Sat, Sep 26th, 1:00 PM @ Regal Green Hills Theater 4

Daddies Boi is a queer dark comedy about ride-or-die best friends, Ozzie (they/them) and Billie (she/her), pushing 35 but still claiming 28, desperately clinging to relevance in a city that worships youth. When Ozzie’s longtime sugar daddy, Clarke, dumps them on their “28th” birthday for a younger model, and Billie’s debt soars to new heights, the duo dives headfirst into LA’s unconventional gig market of sex work and companionship services. Armed with multiple sugaring profiles, shifty side hustles, and unhinged dates, they set their sights on a seductive new app called Daddies Boi that promises fast cash and fresh opportunities. What begins as survival spirals into a sharp, funny, and emotionally raw odyssey of empowerment and peril, testing their friendship, identity, and self-worth.

IN MY BLOOD (dir. Alex Bendo)

Sat, Sep 26th, 1:00 PM @ Regal Green Hills Theater 4

Desperate to live up to his father’s expectations, a talented but inconsistent minor league baseball player turns to steroids, igniting a dangerous transformation of body and mind.

CLEAN HANDS (dir. Jake Allyn)

Sat, Sep 26th, 5:30 PM @ Hooky Entertainment

A true story, Kevin Simmers was a cop who spent his career trying to keep drugs off the streets of Hagerstown, a city sitting square on the “Heroin Highway”. Then his 19-year-old daughter Brooke got hooked, and everything he thought he knew turned inside out. What follows is a father and daughter fighting their way back to each other, and a community reckoning with an epidemic it can’t arrest its way out of. #CleanHandsMovie

THE LORRAINE (dir. Sam Pollard)

Sat, Sep 26th, 2:30 PM @ National Museum of African American Music

In the heart of Memphis, Walter and Loree Bailey’s Lorraine Motel was both a thriving hub of Black entrepreneurship and a destination for the greatest musicians of the 20th century—a place where Civil Rights demonstrations were planned, musical hits were written, and Black and white artists created history together. A rare, black-owned establishment, The Lorraine served as a safe haven and sanctuary for Black travelers during the Jim Crow era. Then, on April 4, 1968, the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. outside Room 306 cleaved that history in two, and the world forgot everything else.

FLINT (dir. Ryan Whitaker)

Fri, Sep 25th, 7:00 PM @ Regal Green Hills Theater 16 (SOLD OUT)
Sun, Sep 27th, 8:00 PM @ Regal Green Hills Theater 16

In this adaptation of the beloved novel by Louis L’Amour, James Kettleman (LOST’s Josh Holloway) returns to the Montana frontier he once fled, adopting the name of the notorious killer who raised him. But there is trouble brewing in the West. Ruthless speculator Porter Baldwin (Max Martini) is setting up the land swindle of a lifetime and notorious assassin Buckdun (Mike Vogel) is there to back his play. In the crosshairs is Nancy Kennigan (Sarah Gadon), the owner of a coveted ranch. Reluctantly drawn into the fray, Kettleman must confront his past and determine what his ultimate legacy will be. #flintmovieofficial

CLEAN HANDS (dir. Jake Allyn)

Sat, Sep 26th, 5:30 PM @ Hooky Entertainment

A true story, Kevin Simmers was a cop who spent his career trying to keep drugs off the streets of Hagerstown, a city sitting square on the “Heroin Highway”. Then his 19-year-old daughter Brooke got hooked, and everything he thought he knew turned inside out. What follows is a father and daughter fighting their way back to each other, and a community reckoning with an epidemic it can’t arrest its way out of. #CleanHandsMovie

THE LORRAINE (dir. Sam Pollard)

Sat, Sep 26th, 2:30 PM @ National Museum of African American Music

In the heart of Memphis, Walter and Loree Bailey’s Lorraine Motel was both a thriving hub of Black entrepreneurship and a destination for the greatest musicians of the 20th century—a place where Civil Rights demonstrations were planned, musical hits were written, and Black and white artists created history together. A rare, black-owned establishment, The Lorraine served as a safe haven and sanctuary for Black travelers during the Jim Crow era. Then, on April 4, 1968, the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. outside Room 306 cleaved that history in two, and the world forgot everything else.

In this adaptation of the beloved novel by Louis L’Amour, James Kettleman (LOST’s Josh Holloway) returns to the Montana frontier he once fled, adopting the name of the notorious killer who raised him. But there is trouble brewing in the West. Ruthless speculator Porter Baldwin (Max Martini) is setting up the land swindle of a lifetime and notorious assassin Buckdun (Mike Vogel) is there to back his play. In the crosshairs is Nancy Kennigan (Sarah Gadon), the owner of a coveted ranch. Reluctantly drawn into the fray, Kettleman must confront his past and determine what his ultimate legacy will be. #flintmovieofficial
