2024 Snack Shack (15)

A rare chance to see a film which grossed less than $500,000.

Nebraska City, summer of 1991. Inseparable best friends AJ (Conor Sherry, "Are You Afraid of the Dark?," "The Terminal List") and Moose (Gabriel LaBelle, "The Fabelmans") seize the opportunity to run the local pool's rundown snack shack. Dreaming of striking it rich, things take an unexpected turn when they meet summer visitor Brooke (Mika Abdalla, "Sex Appeal," "SWAT"), an effortlessly cool lifeguard who puts their big summer plans, and their friendship, at risk.

“The naturalistic chemistry between the leads shines through to keep viewers rooting for the likeable youngsters to come out on top”. Terry Staunton – Radio Times

Starring: Conor Sherry; Gabriel LaBelle; Mika Abdalla

Director: Adam Rehmeier

Running Time: 112 minutes

Plus a post show Q&A with Andrew Semple so discuss how anyone can be creative, if given the chance!

The band The Limps, blazed a trail in Carlisle, Cumbria, for a few months in the late-1970s before disappearing without a trace. Nearly 50 years later, the song Someone I Can Talk To was chosen to feature on the soundtrack of Snack Shack, by US director Adam Rehmeier. The song was written by local councillor, Andrew Semple and enjoyed a new lease of life on YouTube following the film’s release.
