The Premiere Trailers

Drawing inspiration from cringe comedy classics, THE PREMIERE is a largely improvised comedy that blurs the line between fact and fiction, taking the audience on a hilarious and unpredictable ride from start to finish. Sam (played by Pezzullo), a painfully narcissistic and delusional theater producer, attempts to make a musical version of his favorite movie, SCREAM, at a local theater in Sag Harbor, New York, encountering a series of awkward and outrageous scenarios along the way. Supported by a cast of quirky characters and real life locals, the film is both a love letter to and a satirical commentary on the Hamptons that breaks the mold of traditional storytelling, described by the filmmakers simply as a mockumentary about a documentary about making a musical about a movie.

Reviews
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
