Join us for an advanced screening of the forthcoming film, Remarkably Bright Creatures, starring Sally Field and Lewis Pullman, and directed by Olivia Newman, who will be in attendance. Adapted from the novel by Shelby Van Pelt, Remarkably Bright Creatures is the story of a widow who works at a local aquarium finding joy again when she forms an unlikely bond with a giant Pacific octopus and a wayward young man who comes to town in search of family. Together, they uncover a mystery that will lead them to a life-changing discovery and restore their sense of wonder. The film is just over 1 hour and 50 minutes and will be followed by a Q&A with the director.

Newman’s widely anticipated film, starring Sally Field and Lewis Pullman, will swim to Netflix on May 8.
