Opening Night Film: In Memoriam directed by Rob Burnett and starring Marc Maron in Attendance

What is the one thing that a dying man feels will prove his life was worth something? A place in the Academy Awards® “In Memoriam” segment, of course. IN MEMORIAM is a unique, heartfelt dramedy about waking up in life before it’s too late. A vain actor learns he has six months to live and becomes obsessed with making the Academy Awards “In Memoriam” montage, sparking a hilarious and affecting exploration of ego, humility, and legacy. Writer/ Director Rob Burnett and Producer/Star Marc Maron in Attendance
