World Premiere

Producer Andrew Carlsberg returns to deadCENTER with The Dramatics after winning Best Narrative Short in 2011 for After School Special and screening the sold out Some Girl(s) at last year’s festival. When Katie (Kat Foster), an out of work actress, unexpectedly lands a starring role in the sexually explicit mini-series adaptation of a best selling, erotic chick lit novel, her boyfriend, Paul (Scott Rodgers), can barely muster a congratulations. Not only is Katie heading overseas, where the series will shoot for six straight months, but also, she'll be rolling around in the almost nude with famously volatile, Oscar winning playboy, Bryan J. Macy (Pablo Schreiber). On Katie's last day in town, tensions between her and Paul mount to an unforgettable climax, during which a punch is thrown, a gun is drawn, an innocent is wounded, hearts are broken, and lives are changed forever.
