Cinema Club: DADDY at the Michigan Theater - MICHIGAN PREMIERE!

This is in the main auditorium. No assigned seating. Movie starts at 7:30pm.

Michigan premiere! Set in a dystopian society where the state has the power to determine who can and cannot father children. Four men attend a government-mandated retreat in the remote mountains of California. When they arrive, there’s no guide or instructions waiting for them. So left to their own devices, they must prove to themselves that they have what it takes to become fathers.

From directors Neal Kelley and Jono Sherman, graduates of the University of Michigan, who will be in attendance for a post-film discussion!

Neal and Jono grew up in Ann Arbor and met at Tappan Middle School. Daddy is their feature debut and includes cast and crew that they met during their time at U-M. Guided by humor and a passion for narrative, they craft stories about characters who exist on the thin edge of experience and observation, those who are dancing in the middle of the party and yet also standing at a cocked eyebrow’s distance, trying to figure out what is really going on. Their second feature, Zoinks!, will be set in Michigan and is currently in development.
