As part of After School Special: The 2014 School of Visual Arts Alumni Film & Animation Festival, we are pleased to present a special screening of the new film Affluenza (2014), followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Kevin Asch (BFA 1998 Film and Video).

Synopsis: An aspiring young photographer finds himself caught up in a heady world of money, sex, and privilege when he moves to wealthy Long Island in the summer of 2008. The film stars Gregg Sulkin, Nicola Peltz, Samantha Mathis, and Steve Guttenberg.

Affluenza is not rated by the MPAA. Parents are strongly cautioned – some material may be inappropriate for children under 17.
