Down to the Felt

Actor Jon Osbeck (Amazon’s A League of Their Own) makes his feature directorial debut with this darkly comic, Columbus-set actioner about a sad-sack gambler (Michael Stahl-David) who pays a hitman to take him out in a matter of weeks…only to meet a woman who may point him to a brighter, happier future.Paul Murphy, a charming, underdog gambler, is on a bad roll. In one day, he’s gambled away the down payment on a house, been kicked out by his girlfriend, and lost his job, forcing him to move back into his childhood home with his mother. But after a chance meeting with David Solomon—a troubled and conflicted Jewish hitman who has a death wish of his own—a deadly plan is set into motion that could change Paul’s dysfunctional take on luck. Paul gets two weeks to take it “down to the felt,” to go all in, before David kills him so his mom can collect on Paul’s insurance policy. It’s Paul’s final two minutes in his game of life. But when Paul starts winning, and meets the alluring and mysterious Erica Chambers, who knows her way around a poker table, life becomes a race against time for Paul to call off the hitman and stop the deadly hand he’s been dealt.GUEST(S) ARE SCHEDULED TO BE IN ATTENDANCE FOR Q&A
