The Potter's House

Join us for a screening of D(e)ad by Isabella Roland, an independent autobiographical self-funded feature-length dark comedy.

SynopsisTillie (Isabella Roland), a floundering young woman and her charismatic, alcoholic father (Craig Bierko), struggle to resolve their fractured relationship in the weirdest possible way: after he dies, his ghost appears in mirrors to haunt everyone in the family but Tillie. Tillie’s sister, Violet (Vic Michaelis), mother (Claudia Lonow), grandparents (Mark Lonow and Joanne Astrow), stepfather (Jonathan Schmock), and even Violet’s free-spirited baby daddy (Nick Marini), must do everything they can to make Tillie see her father… even employing a very reform rabbi (Eddie Peppitone) to exorcize him… or else they will be plagued by this ghost forever.​About the filmWhat do you get when you have three generations of comedians in on family, and someone dies? If you guessed an independent autobiographical self-funded feature-length dark comedy, you’d be absolutely right. D(e)AD is written by and starring Isabella Roland (Dropout.tv, Sex Lives Of College Girls); and directed by and starring Isabella’s mom, Claudia Lonow (creator/showrunner of How to Live With Your Parents for the Rest of Your Life, Accidentally on Purpose, Good Girls Don’t and Rude Awakening); and also the rest of their family.Website: https://www.deadthefilm.com/Trailer: https://youtu.be/SKmkHP9IUcs?si=SVx34qxrYVhmZoGtLanguage/Genre: English / Dark ComedyCast:Tillie - Isabella RolandDaniel - Craig BierkoFrankie - Claudia LonowViolet - Vic MichaelisCarl - Jonathan SchmockEric - Nick MariniOwen - Brennan Lee MulliganRenee - Joanne AstrowHarris - Mark LonowRabbi Barry - Eddie PepitoneDoctor - Zac OyamaYoung Tillie - Winslow SchwartzmanAccessibility note:This venue is wheelchair-accessible and has access to two gender-neutral restrooms.written by Isabella Roland / directed by Claudia Lonow / produced by Erin Dellorso and Julianne DowlerCinematography AJ Young / Edited by Jacquelyn LeExecutive producers: Isabella Roland, Claudia Lonow, Jonathan Schmock, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Mark Lonow, JoAnne Astrow
