Coyote vs. Acme
Orpheum・Saugerties
Friday, August 28th

Reminiscent of Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, this meta clap-back of the film’s high-profile shelving by Warner Bros. is a savvy satire about profit-obsessed modern corporations, but told as loony as possible. A live-action animated comedy, the deeply absurdist story is a legal battle — Wile E. Coyote suing Acme for his hundreds of times using their malfunctioning products. Will Forte stars as a disgruntled lawyer, Lana Condor as his high-functioning intern (and niece), and John Cena as the ruthless corporate attorney for Acme, alongside the CG-animated Wile E. Coyote.

September 3rd

A one-shot film that follows brothers on and off screen, Ari and Ethan, on the hunt for their dying poet father through the streets of San Francisco. Shot in one day, the script uses deep improvisation, relying heavily on the natural bond and sibling bickering of the siblings, blurring fiction and reality.
