OPENING NIGHT FILM :

THE SAME STORM
Director: Peter Hedges

Starring: Sandra Oh, Moses Ingram, Mary-Louise Parker, Rhenzy Feliz, Camila Perez, Noma Dumezweni, Judith Light, Alison Pill

Run Time: 99 minutes

Synopsis: Filmed using iPhones and laptops during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Same Storm is an intimate look into the lives of twenty-four characters as they journey through the spring and summer of 2020. With lockdowns, the Black Lives Matter movement and the looming 2020 elections as key backdrops, the film explores the necessity of human connection, family, love and the ability to find empathy during a fraught, untenable time. Featuring an all-star cast, including Sandra Oh, Mary-Louise Parker, Elaine May, Moses Ingram, Raul Castillo, Noma Dumezweni, and many more, writer/director Peter Hedges crafts a unique piece of hopeful filmmaking that demonstrates and celebrates the ability of art to connect us.
