Hello, dear indie genre fans! Special reminder that our premiere screening of THE VIGIL starts this Thursday, January 28. The indie horror film will be available to screen for the next week via Eventive, followed by a special post-film discussion with the director, two lead actors, and producer!
Since THE VIGIL is presented with the support of the Austin Jewish Film Festival, Fest Director David Finkel joined Bears Rebecca Fonte in moderating a truly fascinating discussion with the filmmakers. We can't wait for you to see it and hear your thoughts!

“Just like me, Sarah grew up in an ultra-orthodox Jewish family and left her community to pursue her own path.
What would be helpful to know is that when one leaves an insular community, they are often like immigrants. ...It can take a while to figure out their place in this world.”
-Malky Goldman (co-lead, "Sarah")
