About the Film
Now that Chris and his girlfriend, Rose, have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway with Missy and Dean. At first, Chris reads the family’s overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter’s interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries leads him to a truth that he never could have imagined
About the Event
While watching the film, viewers will be prompted to eat certain bites as they correlate with a moment on screen. The tasting menu that accompanies the film consists of 6-12 bites, such as popcorn, sliders, or salad. If you wish to purchase beverages or additional food from the Empirical Café prior to the event, please plan on arriving early. The café will be open until 7 pm for your needs. We are unable to accommodate special dietary restrictions with the tasting menu, though the cafe has a variety of options available. All ages welcome.
