Film News: Opening Night of 'Alex/October' at La Grange Theatre on Sept. 30, 2022
CHICAGO – Big Opening Night tonight (September 30th, 2022) for the shot-in-Chicagoland indie film “Alex/October,” written and directed by Josh Hope. The La Grange Theatre (La Grange, Ill.) will screen the film with a Q&A to follow, moderated by Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com. Click A/O for ticket info.
Alex (Brad Hunt) is an outwardly depressed man, contemplating suicide but unable to literally pull the trigger. In desperation he places a Craigslist ad seeking an “associate” to finish the job, answered by an underemployed and broke woman named October (Tara Shayne). As this odd couple negotiates the terms, a relationship develops.
