Sell By is a romantic comedy about a group of friends navigating love, life, and relationships as they reach the mid-point. At the heart of the story is Adam (Scott Evans), a talented painter now stuck ghost painting for successful contemporary artist, Ravella Brewer (Patricia Clarkson). He and Marklin (Augustus Prew) are at the five-year mark of their relationship. They don’t have kids, they’re not married, and are face to face with the existential question “Is that all there is?”

The Opening Night reception will begin at 6pm, prior to the 7pm film screening. No additional ticket purchase necessary. The 2020 Storyteller Award winners will be announced prior to the film.

Enjoy tasty appetizers, a cash bar, and live music from Tacoma's own, The Happy Sinners! With new sounds reminiscent of old feelings, The Happy Sinners bring exuberance and positivity to their performances. They play a mix of classic Americana songs, re-interpreted with a modern feel, as well as original compositions reflecting these roots. The members of The Happy Sinners are from the Hilltop District in Tacoma and can be found frequently playing at local events and community activities in The Gritty City. www.TheHappySinners.com Thank you to Wingman Brewers, Crudo & Cotto and Safeway for their donations!
