Drink And Be Merry
September 27, 2025 @ 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm EDT
A film by Adam Volerich
Set at a struggling New York dive bar in the days leading up to Christmas, 2019. Its protagonist, Chet (Jefferson White), is a beleaguered bartender in a state of extended arrested development, who must balance taking care of his misanthropic, aging regulars — who have nowhere else to go, and rely on him for far more than pouring drinks — with his naive desires to muster some Christmas spirit.
Director: Adam Volerich
Writer: Leo Winters
Producers: Brenden Hubbard, Adam Volerich
Principal Cast: Jefferson White, Sophie Zucker, Billy Smith, Brian Anthony Wilson, Delaney Williams, Griffin Newman, Siobhan Fallon Hogan
Filmmakers Adam Volerich and screenwriter Leo Winters are expected to be in attendance for a post-film discussion.
