So, you're in Vancouver and your hockey team is falling apart around you thanks to grotesque mismanagement. How are you going to distract yourself? Alcohol is always an option and on the night of March 9th - at 9pm, to be precise - you can add to the mix a screening of Evan Katz's
Cheap Thrills at the Rio. Yep, the Canadian theatrical release is expanding and we've got five double passes to give away to the March 9th screening, after which leading man Pat Healy will be on hand to take your questions thanks to the wonders of technology. Meaning he'll be on Skype.
Cheap Thrills follows Craig (Pat Healy, Compliance), a struggling family
man who loses his low-wage job and is threatened with eviction. In an
effort to delay facing the music at home, he heads to a local bar and
encounters an old friend (Ethan Embry, Empire Records). The two friends
are roped into a round of drinks by a charismatic and obscenely wealthy
stranger (David Koechner, Anchorman 2) along with his mysterious wife
(Sara Paxton, The Inkeepers). The couple engages the two friends in a
series of innocent dares in exchange for money over the course of the
evening, with each challenge upping the ante in both reward and
boundaries. It seems like easy and much needed money, but the couple's
twisted sense of humor pushes just how far Craig and his friend are
willing to go for money and cheap thrills.
You want your chance to win one of five double passes to the screening? Simple enough,
just email me here and say "I want some Cheap Thrills!" Winners will be drawn at random.
