# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Room Returns (With Director Q&A) at the Rio Theatre - **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 07 Sep, 2026 at 06:45 pm (-07:00) - **Event Description**: What happens when great actors collide with what some consider the worst script ever written? Tommy Wiseau’s original THE ROOM (2003) infamously burned through $6 million and months of shooting with no-name actors. This reimagining flips the myth on its head. Filmed in under 12 hours, on virtually no budget, with Bob Odenkirk (“Better Call Saul”), Bella Heathcote (“The Neon Demon”), Kate Siegel (“Hush)”, Greg Sestero (the original “The Room”), executive producer Mike Flanagan (“The Haunting of Hill House”), and directed by newcomer Brando Crawford. With no rehearsal and only teleprompters to guide them, the cast embraced the chaos with Shakespearean gravity, transforming cinematic disaster into unpredictable spectacle… All for charity. ********************************************************************* Followed by a live Q&A with filmmaker director/producer Brando Crawford and TBD some special guests! ********************************************************************* This is a benefit event for amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research (501c3), and Blue Collaborative (501c3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monday, September 7 Doors 6:00 pm | Film 6:45 pm *Start time subject to change.
