BLINDSPOTTING

September 1 – 6
BLINDSPOTTING
Collin (Daveed Diggs, HAMILTON) must make it through his final three days of probation for a chance at a new beginning. He and his troublemaking childhood best friend, Miles (Rafael Casal), work as movers, and when Collin witnesses a police shooting, the two men’s friendship is tested as they grapple with identity and their changed realities in the rapidly-gentrifying neighborhood they grew up in. Longtime friends and collaborators, Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal co-wrote and star in this timely and wildly entertaining story about friendship and the intersection of race and class set against the backdrop of Oakland. Bursting with energy, style, and humor, and infused with the spirit of rap, hip hop, and spoken word, Blindspotting, boldly directed by Carlos López Estrada in his feature film debut, is a provocative hometown love letter that glistens with humanity.

“Like all great movies, Blindspotting is a force to be reckoned with and wrestled with. No matter where you land in your assessment, your expectations are guaranteed to be shattered.” – Odie Henderson, RogerEbert.com

“Blindspotting moves at a brisk pace and raises the dramatic stakes with each scene; director Estrada has a masterful touch for pacing.” – Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times

“More than a treatise or answer key, it’s a palpable blast of frustration and rage that shakes you – and should vault [Daveed] Diggs to the top of every casting agent’s list.” – Brent McKnight, Seattle Times
