Cheech & Chong’s Last Movie

Directed by: David Bushell
Studio: Keep Smokin’

Cheech and Chong’s enduring partnership begins like the start of a classic joke set-up: “a Chicano kid from South Central LA and a half-Chinese Motown musician meet at a strip club in Canada”, and ends with one of the most iconic duos in entertainment history. In the 1970s, Cheech & Chong redefined stand-up comedy, blending drugs, sex, rock’n’roll, and improvisation into a genre-shaping act. Their multicultural, irreverent humor turned them into icons, counterculture rock stars, and Hollywood legends. Raucous, accessible, and explosively funny, their groundbreaking stoner humor has translated into sold-out concerts, platinum-selling records, and box-office-smashing films. The two have reached professional and personal heights well beyond their wildest dreams, while suffering their share of fallouts and stumbles, becoming a comedy rite of passage for multiple generations. How did Cheech and Chong ignite imaginations and stay relevant over 50 years? Join them for one last ride to find out….

Studio: TriCoast Worldwide

Based on true events: Another Day in America is a dark, radical comedy-drama that revolves around an ensemble of distinct characters as they each make their way through a post-pandemic day in an American office. It’s not business as usual — it’s personal. It’s cultural guerrilla warfare, navigating the pains of disenfranchisement, misogyny, racism, perversion, and mental illness. They are at a tipping point, making things even more painful, damaging, and dangerous. Another Day in America focuses on its polarized society, fueled by our dependence on online internet culture, a culture that is quickly changing yet is anchored by a profoundly violent and painful history.

Jimmy In Saigon

Directed by: Peter McDowell
Studio: Dark Star Pictures

Jimmy in Saigon explores the mysterious death, radical life, and forbidden romance of a 24-year-old Vietnam veteran who died in Saigon in 1972. Jimmy’s rejection of his family’s values and his eventual death created deep trauma within the lives of his surviving family and complicated how he was remembered. Director Peter McDowell, Jimmy’s younger brother, was only five years old when Jimmy died under a shroud of secrecy and shame. Jimmy in Saigon follows Peter’s 10-year search to uncover secrets surrounding Jimmy’s sexual orientation and rumored drug use. Peter finds surprising connections with his deceased brother and struggles to reach a new understanding of his own identity as a gay man. After leaving the army, Jimmy unexpectedly chose to return to Vietnam as a civilian while the war still raged. He died a year later. Why do some aspects of a remembered life fade, while others persist? Why are some memories cherished, and others buried? Peter’s journey provides an empathetic lens through which to explore Jimmy’s life in Saigon–a story of adventure and of love that was unacceptable at the time and still challenging today.
