Check your smile. 📸 Medium Photo presents Mark Romanek's ONE HOUR PHOTO on Thursday, September 10 at 7:00 PM. Featuring an unforgettably chilling performance from Academy Award winner Robin Williams. 🎟️ You can get tickets now at the 🔗🔝 or in person at our box office, while they last.

Sy Parrish (Robin Williams) runs a one-hour photo developing lab in a small mall. He’s a perfectionist about his work and generous to his regular customers, including a typical family headed by Will Yorkin. Over the years, he’s seen their family grow through their photographs, but when he sees evidence of Yorkin being unfaithful, coupled with a threat to his position, his already precarious mental state tips over the edge.

With an acclaimed background directing iconic music videos for artists like Nine Inch Nails, David Bowie, Beck, and Madonna, in addition to being recognized for his celebrity photography, director Romanek brings a nuanced and stylish flair to this 2002 thriller examining themes of surveillance, family, fidelity, and isolation.
