About the film:
(David Norman Lewis & Noah Zoltan Sofian, US, 2023, 80 min)
Last we saw the local legend, in 2017's Fantasy A Gets Jacked, his dreams of a perfect birthday were being thwarted at every turn by rival rappers and all-around a-holes. In 2023, after being kicked out of one group home after another, he sets his sights on an equally precious and personal goal - getting a mattress - all while achieving superstardom.
Join us for this ode to the hustling strivers of our city, with a zany cast of characters that includes a scheming loanster, a wannabe martial arts master, and the jilted cousin of a rap sensation. This ensemble comedy filmed entirely on-location does for Seattle what Do the Right Thing did for Brooklyn.

Accessibility
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
