Event Details

Mark your calendars -- "Bookie" will be screening in Los Angeles on Wednesday, November 7th!

"A little gem of a film...flawlessly realized." -- Twitch Film

"I was delighted...so much sharper than many American indies." -- The Warren Report 

 

Synopsis:

BOOKIE takes place in 1963, long before gambling was accepted social behavior for Saturday nights. It tells the story of a man who learns he can't live his life on the sidelines forever.

On the night of a wildly anticipated boxing fight, crowds pack into a raucous soul r&b nightclub for a chance at alcohol, wild music, and easy money. Word is out that the champ's got the fight in the bag and Bookie takes down bets from all corners.

Amidst it all, he can't help but notice the beautiful waitress Billie have a violent falling out with Jackson, her lover and Bookie's all-controlling boss. Bookie attempts to help matters, but the odds prove far more difficult -- they will have to trust each other completely to totally break free of Jackson and the nightclub.

Dress Code:

Come as you wish, we won't have bouncers at the door checking your getup, but anything from Casual Chic to Dressy Casual would be great -- or even Creative Black Tie for those wanting to sport a 60s theme!

 

Viewer Discretion:

Although "Bookie" is not officially rated, it would likely be classified as PG-13 due to scenes of graphic violence. We ask that you not bring young children to the premiere.
