We’re screening our award-winning 2021 feature film Cyril as a fundraiser to support our trip to the International Black Theatre Festival, where we’ll present Art of Wise (2025).
World-renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht plays himself in this film, offering detailed and contrarian insights on some of America’s most brutal and provocative cases, as he’s interviewed for a documentary. As he presents his often-controversial views on cases ranging from the JFK assassination to the OJ Simpson case to JonBenet Ramsey’s murder, it’s the morning after George Floyd’s murder, and behind the camera, long-standing disagreements between the conservative white interviewer and liberal Black cameraman threaten to boil over.

Fundraiser tickets are $35.

The Monday June 29th showing features director Andrew Paul and cast members.
