TAPE tells the story of two former best friends from high school, Jon, an aspiring filmmaker and Vince, a dope-dealing volunteer firefighter, who meet up for the weekend in their hometown of Lansing, Michigan. Over the course of the evening, the ten-year high school reunion slides inexorably from friendly catch-up conversation into disturbing interrogation. Beneath its suspenseful, high-stakes action, TAPE examines questions of motive, memory, truth and perception.

Frankenstein
On a chilled night, a brilliant young scientist brings a corpse back to life. Piper’s take on Mary Shelley’s classic tale of horror will be augmented by live music and six original rear film projections. Each film offers a glimpse into the mystery of the man behind the Creature. One film will be released each week leading to the opening night of Frankenstein, July 5th.
We begin with “One”.
