Restricted Capacity: RSVP REQUIRED

Written by Kevin Broccoli 

Directed by Michelle Aguillon 

Made possible by the generosity of Gregory Maguire and Andy Newman

Two sisters juggle family dynamics, quarantine, and an impending hurricane as they try to find their missing third sister and elderly father, who appear to be heading straight into a natural disaster. How do you protect those you love when armed only with technology? How do those who are disconnected from the world find their way back to it again? Is it possible to bridge lifelong divides at a time when so much is broken? Inspired by Shakespeare's King Lear, this digital thriller is a glimpse into a family at a breaking point.
