NY Premiere
TRIPOLAR THE MOVIE is a biting satire disguised as a stoner comedy set in the heart of Brooklyn. Rife with John Waters-style humor, the story follows a washed-up 50-something mother and her daughter’s 20-something friends who are willing to do anything to make a film. But when a movie exec greenlights their project, they begin to conspire against one another in a parody of life in modern America.
As Hunter S. Thompson said: “When the going gets weird, the weird turn professional.”
Winner, Best Narrative Feature at the 2025 Chicago Underground Film Festival and called “…the best film at BAFICI, possibly of the year” by BAFICI programmer Agustín Masaedo.
Introduced by producer/editor Russell Yaffe with a Q&A with writer/director Eleanor Gaver moderated by Martin Kersels, Professor of Sculpture and Director of Graduate Studies at the Yale School of Art.
