BACKSTAGE screening

Cineworks is proud to present a free screening of ๐˜‰๐˜ˆ๐˜Š๐˜’๐˜š๐˜›๐˜ˆ๐˜Ž๐˜Œ (2025, 11 minutes), a short film by Gabe Zack.

At a sold-out concert, young videographer Jack is pulled into the chaotic world of rising underground artist Aaron. As he films the high-energy backstage scene, he witnesses growing tensions between Aaron and his manager, Marcus, over a venue too small for the wild crowd. Despite warnings, Aaronโ€™s ego pushes him to go on with the show, while Jack, eager to capture the spectacle, becomes an unwilling accomplice. The next night, a disturbing video surfaces of fans being crushed, but Aaron dismisses the danger and urges more chaos. As the night spirals out of control, a violent altercation between Aaron and Marcus leaves Jack at a crossroadsโ€”follow Aaron onto the stage or face the consequences. As the music swells, Jackโ€™s lens captures a stark reality: ambition and recklessness colliding, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.
