Director Lloyd
Kaufman, creator of “The Toxic Avenger,”
will be hosting an exclusive premiere
of his newest film at
Geeksboro Coffeehouse Cinema on June 2.
"The indie filmmaker will appear in person to present the
North Carolina premiere of his latest directorial effort, “Return to Nuke ‘Em
High Volume 1,” the first of a two-part sequel to Troma’s 1986 hit “Class of
Nuke ‘Em High.” Kaufman is co-founder of Troma Films, the B-Movie studio behind
such insanely-titled low budget cult films as “Tromeo & Juliet,” “Sgt.
Kabukiman N.Y.P.D.,” “Surf Nazis Must Die” and “Redneck Zombies.” Aside from
debuting his newest film, Kaufman will greet fans, host a Q&A after the
screening as well as sell exclusive merchandise from the Troma vaults.
The June 2 screening will be part of a nationwide tour to
celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Troma Entertainment, one of the
longest-running independent film studios in United States history. Through low
budgets and a no-holds-barred approach to horror and sci-fi filmmaking, Troma
helped launch the careers of world famous celebrities Robert De Niro, Dustin
Hoffman, Kevin Costner, Vincent D’Onofrio, Samuel L. Jackson and “South Park”
creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone among many others.
“Return to Nuke ‘Em High: Vol. 1 & 2,” directed by
Kaufman, is a hilarious, thoughtful sci-fi “Event Film” with themes ripped
straight from today’s headlines: the contamination and degradation of the
world’s food supply, rampant bullying, and LGBTQ love triumphing over prejudice
and violence.
The exclusive live event and premiere movie screening will
take place at 8 p.m. Monday, June 2 at Geeksboro Coffeeehouse Cinema on 2134
Lawndale Drive. Tickets for the event are $15 each and may be purchased at
Geeksboro’s café or online at www.Geeksboro.com.
