Their Town

Director: Katie Aselton

Starring Chosen Jacobs, Ora Duplass, Daveed Diggs, Leonardo Nam.

Their Town begins and ends on a stage. Abby is the lead in the school play; Matt is part of the production design team. From completely different social circles, they have barely crossed paths until their director asks Matt to step in as Abby’s co-lead at the last minute.

What follows is an unexpected evening in which two teenagers get to know each other in the most charming, sweet and genuine way. Together, they explore their town, revisit places from their childhoods and gradually discover that the versions of themselves they present to the world are very different from the realities behind closed doors.

Although they come from very different family backgrounds, both have experienced difficulties for very different reasons. As the hours pass, they open up to each other with an honesty they rarely share with anyone else, forming a deep trust and surprising connection.

Directed by Katie Aselton and written by her husband Mark Duplass, the film stars their daughter Ora Duplass as Abby and introduces Chosen Jacobs as Matt. With its intimate, naturalistic performances and gentle, conversational pacing, Their Town recalls the warmth and romantic intimacy of the Before trilogy.

Watch with Baby screening: Please note that the 15:15 screening is a relaxed screening designed to welcome parents and carers with babies. The lights will remain gently raised and the sound will be lower than usual, so you can feed, soothe or move around with your baby as needed. There’s no need to worry about crying, noise or needing to step out during the film.

You’re also very welcome to attend without a baby. We simply ask that all audience members are understanding and respectful of the relaxed nature of the screening and of parents, carers and babies in the audience.
