The Miami Jewish Film Festival invites you to a special sneak preview of SORRY TO BOTHER YOU

This special event is exclusive to MJFF Next Wave Members. To become a Member and enjoy the best of cinema year-round visit www.miamijewishfilmfestival.org/membership/next_wave

With shades of Charlie Kaufman, Jordan Peele, and Jonathan Swift, Sorry to Bother You brings surreal flair, dazzling originality, and a scathing lampoon of societal mores. Losing faith in his persuasive skills, telemarketer Cassius Green takes a co-worker's advice and finds that he suddenly has a gift for selling that elevates him to the executive echelon -- where he discovers the chilling secret of his bosses. Starring Tessa Thompson, Steven Yuen, and Danny Glover, with music by The Coup and Tune-Yards.
