Nantucket Premiere Screening of Jay Craven Newest Film,
“Wetware”
Filmed on Nantucket!
Film followed by 30 minute Q&A with the filmmaker
Kingdom County Productions
and the Dreamland Theater will present a special world premiere screening of
award-winning independent filmmaker Jay Craven’s newest picture, “Wetware,”
based on the novel by Craig Nova. The
screening will take place at 6pm, Sunday, August 19th at the
Dreamland Theater.
Director Craven and the
film’s lead actors, Cameron Scoggins (“The Deuce,” “Nashville”), Morgan Wolk
(“The Affair,” “Miles Ahead”), and Bret Lada (“Law and Order”) will appear at
the screening and post-screening reception.
“Wetware” is set in a near
future where people down on their luck apply for genetic modifications to take
on hard jobs in slaughterhouses, toxic cleanup and deep sea mining – that
nobody wants to do. With business
booming, programmers at Galapagos Wetware up the stakes by producing high-end
prototypes, Jack and Kay, for more sensitive jobs like space travel,
counterterrorism, and deep cover espionage.
Galapagos genetic
programmer Hal Briggs is sharp and creative but impetuous. He’s a socially
awkward romantic in a transactional world. He keeps a virtual human clock at home
and improvises as he goes on what qualities to include or delete in his gene
splicing for Jack and, especially, Kay, to whom he develops a dangerous
attachment.
Then word gets out that
Jack and Kay have escaped, before Briggs has completed his work. Where have
they gone and what do they know? Briggs scrambles to track his fugitive
prototypes and, as he reexamines Jack and Kay's codes, he makes a provocative
discovery that will change everything.
In
addition to Scoggins, Wolk, and Lada, “Wetware’s” cast includes Jerry O’Connell
(“Stand By Me,” “Jerry McGuire”), Nicole Shalhoub (“The Good Wife,” “Madame
Secretary”), Matt Salinger (“24,” “Captain America”), Aurélia Thiérrée
(“Aurelia’s Oratorio,” “Bells and Spells”), Garret Lee Hicks (“The Americans”),
Emmy- winner Gordon Clapp and Nantucket actors Susan McGinnis, Vince Veilleux,
and Charlotte and Madeleine Ruley.
