The Nightgame world premiere at Chicago Underground is one week away. CUFF messaged me to say the Friday, 9pm screening is near selling out so I suggest getting tickets now. They are open to the public for $13 via cuff.org. I will be at both the Friday and Sunday screenings for an in person Q&A and the Friday night premiere will be joined by Matt Nightgame himself Nathaniel Ritchie alongside our cinematography duo Joriel Cura & Noah Glynn, associate producer Nick Herbert and scene stealer Pariah Pete.

A hardpost two years in the making: my debut feature film, NIGHTGAME, will have its world premiere September 25 at the Chicago Underground Film Festival. The idea came from Armando and I riffing on a real youtube rabbit hole we were obsessed with. This naturally led to us writing a script, asking Nathaniel if he would play a pickup artist, then shooting the film in one month. I have been handling post on my own since. Now it’s ready for the world. 

Here is how CUFF describes it: Two friends spend a kratom-fueled night binge-watching the rediscovered livestreams of Matt Nightgame, an obscure pickup artist whose marathon videos wander the parking lots, strip malls, and forgotten corners of the internet. What begins as ironic entertainment takes a darker turn when one of the women from the streams appears in a missing-person post, transforming late-night doomscrolling into an unsettling investigation. Blurring hangout comedy, digital noir, and conspiracy thriller, Nightgame captures the strange moral territory where spectatorship becomes complicity and online performance begins to resemble evidence. Written and shot for under $5,000 by musician and filmmaker Parker Corey (Injury Reserve/By Storm), this debut feature is a genuinely contemporary underground film—one that inhabits the rhythms, paranoia, and psychic residue of life online rather than merely commenting on them.

The film stars Nathaniel Ritchie, Armando Gabaldon, myself, Anta Diallo, Kiahna Chutich, Dario Resendiz and Pariah Pete. It’s written by Armando Gabaldon and myself. With cinematography by Joriel Cura and Noah Glynn, sound recording by Nathaniel Ritchie, assistant direction by McKay Robinson, associate producer: Nick Herbert, scored by —__–__ (aka Seth Aaron Graham and More Eaze), poster art (which has a bit of pillarboxing here btw thanks to insta’s aspect ratio) by Scott Agustin, and it is produced and directed by myself.
