Charles Poekel's CHRISTMAS, AGAIN Opens This Thursday at MoMA

Factory 25 presents CHRISTMAS, AGAIN, starring Kentucker Audley and Hannah Gross, and written, produced & and directed by Charles Poekel. The opening night screening is slated for this Thursday, December 3 at the Museum of Modern Art.

The film will be followed by a Q&A with director Charles Poekel, cinematographer Sean Williams, and actors Kentucker Audley and Hannah Gross.

For a fifth consecutive December, a heartbroken Noel returns to New York City to work THE NIGHT SHIFT at a sidewalk Christmas tree lot. Devoid of any holiday spirit, he struggles to stay awake during the long, chilly nights in his trailer, while the daytime traffic keeps him from getting any real rest. As he slowly spirals into despair, he comes to the aid of a mysterious young woman in the park. Her warming presence, matched with some colorful customers, help rescue him from self-destruction. **2015 Independent Spirit Nominee for John Cassavetes Award**

CHRISTMAS, AGAIN screens at 6:30pm at the Museum of Modern Art, Cullman Education and Research Building (Bartos Theater 3), 4 West 54th Street (between 5th and 6th Aves).

Factory 25 will also release CHRISTMAS, AGAIN in Los Angeles on Friday, December 11th, and on iTunes and select digital / cable platforms.
