MANHATTAN PREMIERE DOC NYC celebrates Star Wars Day (a little bit late, but c’est la guerre) with this irreverent portrait of comedian Connor Ratliff, who has been impersonating the iconic Star Wars creator George Lucas in a live cult comedy show at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater for several years and counting. As his popular creation takes on an unexpected longevity, Ratliff questions his own drive for success and fulfillment in show business. The screening will be followed by an on-stage conversation with filmmaker Ryan Jacobi, producer Annamaria Sofillas, editor/co-producer Rob Malone and film subject Connor Ratliff.
