This week at Tribeca Flashpoint, we’re proud to host an advance screening of the new film Sin Bin with director Billy Federighi.

A team of eight Tribeca Flashpoint students and recent graduates recently completed work on this coming-of-age comedy, filmed here in Chicago starring Michael Seater, Emily Meade and Bo Burnham.

Film synopsis from screen writer/producer Chris Storer:

Sin Bin is a high school take on The Apartment and the constant quest to find our own personal space. The film explains what happens when Brian, a high school senior, loans out his van, lovingly-referred to as “the Sin Bin,” to his friends as a spot to bring dates and serve as a portable apartment. While the film is a teen comedy, it quickly turns into a story of friendship, family, and Chicagoland… a comedy about the first time and how we get there.

The film is ode to John Hughes, a nod to the struggling teenagers striving for a place to call their own. Using the sights and sounds of Chicago, the trials and tribulations we all face growing up will be lovingly recreated.

On Tuesday, the screening will begin around 5pm, followed by a brief survey for all the guests followed by a Q&A with the director.  Guest feedback will be considered when the director makes the final cut of the film.
