September's selection is Ham on Rye (2019), directed by Tyler Taormina
HAM ON RYE, a coming-of-age comedy centered on the nervous excitement of youth and the strange horror of entering adulthood uses an expansive ensemble of over one hundred performers, including non-actors, musicians, 90's Nickelodeon child stars, and more, to explore a suburban community’s relationship with a prom-like ritual and the decay of the human spirit. It begins with the crowd-pleasing spirit of a John Hughes movie and fades slowly into an off-kilter dystopia with the energy of Dazed and Confused.
Official selection of the Deauville, Locarno International, and Santa Barbara International Film Festivals; Audience Choice Award at the New Hampshire Film Festival.
