Cinefest Subdury is BACK!

HOT 93.5 is the proud sponsor of two films in this seasonline-up:

BACKSPOT, screening on Wednesday, September 20th at 12:30 p.m. 

Riley (Jacobs), a mid-level cheerleader, is given an opportunity to cheer with the All-Star team Thunderhawks. With a competition looming, Riley must navigate her crippling anxiety, her relationship with her girlfriend, and her desperate need for approval from her new coach, Eileen (Wood). Backspot stars lead actress Devery Jacobs, best known for her work on the FX television series Reservation Dogs, and three-time Emmy nominee Evan Rachel Wood, best known for her work on HBO’s Westworld and films such as Thirteen (2003), Frozen II (2019), and Kajillionaire (2020).

PURGATORY JACK, screening on Thursday, September 21 at 9:30 p.m.

Purgatory Jack is a neo-noir mystery thriller set against the backdrop of Purgatory, a dirty, dangerous, and destitute landscape run by outlaws and outcasts. Former musician turned grizzled private detective Jack Marlin (Rozon), has a new case and it’s helping new arrival Viv Vacious (Beaton), a punk pop star who accidentally overdosed, find her mother who committed suicide twenty years earlier. Despite being murdered in cold blood, Jack found himself in Purgatory, and now Viv may be the key to unlocking his own mystery. But in an afterworld where blood is the drug and the only ones carrying it are the new arrivals (with a ticking clock of 72 hours), Jack has more to handle while Viv races against death. By outwitting the outlaws, these two musicians from clashing eras will unlock the conspiracy behind the curtains of hell’s waiting room and discover why blood is more than a drug in this hard boiler from the Butler Brothers.
