Trust

East Coast Premiere

In this hair-raising family drama, a matriarch’s passing reunites three neurotic Jewish siblings for an awkward funeral and then the reading of a shocker of a will. The brief amount of time that nursing student Kate spends with her recovering alcoholic brother and hypochondriac diva sister — the trust’s executor — is for the best, since these meetups only collapse into bitter screaming matches. Trust sports a fearless attitude, with a first-rate gutsy cast, while tackling its strong message that sometimes it is best to uproot from a dysfunctional family tree in order to maintain your own sanity.

The special under the stars premiere event will feature the attendance of writer/director Almog Avidan Antonir and writer/producer/star Jennifer Levinson, who will introduce their film and participate in a Q&A afterward.
