ON SCREEN: Matinee Baby

2024. Directed by Thom Hilton. Runtime: 19 minutes.
In this raunchy and outlandish queer comedy, best friends Robby and Noah-Lee – employees at the historic Clinton Street Theater – find themselves confronted by a parade of increasingly wacky, genre-tinged suitors. Created by local writer Thom Hilton and featuring a key performance by drag performer Carla Rossi, MATINEE BABY arrives on screen one year after its successful community crowdfunding campaign, with contributions from over 130 donors and two dozen local businesses. The film is set to make its festival debut in March.
