The Trick, a film by Neal Wynne
New York Premiere
Q&A with filmmaker Neal Wynne moderated by Jinho Myung

During a music video shoot in Los Angeles, a rapper named Aidan is kidnapped by a mysterious actor. The video’s director, Steve, and producer, Jessica, follow his trail to a remote hotel in the desert.
What begins as a rescue mission quickly twists into something stranger. As they probe deeper into the mystery, logic and identity begin to unravel, and they are forced to confront the meaning of the trick they are a part of.
