Members-Only Advance Screening—Widow's Bay and Post Screening Conversation

LACMA members are invited to join FILM at LACMA for a special advance screening of Widow's Bay, followed by a conversation with director, producer Hiro Murai, executive producer Katie Dippold, and featured cast Matthew Rhys and Stephen Root.

Widow’s Bay is a quaint island town 40 miles off the coast of New England. But something lurks beneath the surface. Mayor Tom Loftis (Matthew Rhys) is desperate to revive his struggling community. There’s no Wi-Fi, spotty cellular reception, and he must contend with superstitious locals who believe their island is cursed. He wants these people to respect him. They don’t. They think he is soft and cowardly. And he is. But Loftis is determined to build a better future for his teenage son and turn the island into a tourist destination. Miraculously, he succeeds: tourists are finally coming. Unfortunately, the locals were right. After decades of calm, the old stories that seemed too ludicrous to be true, start happening again. Widow’s Bay blends genuine horror with character-driven comedy.

New episodes stream weekly on Apple TV+.
