Unexpected Cinema is a one-of-a-kind movie experience where local improv talent and filmmakers come together to create a film live in real-time. The audience chooses the movie’s title, and then, with no script or rehearsals, the cast and crew shoot the entire film right before your eyes. Shot in real locations, the story unfolds unpredictably, with every scene improvised and every moment unique. It’s a thrilling, unscripted cinema experience you’ll never see anywhere else!
