Events

In Jordan Peele’s directorial debut Get Out (2017), a young African-American man visits his white girlfriend’s family estate and becomes ensnared in a series of terrifying events. Photographer Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) and his girlfriend Rose (Allison Williams) travel upstate to visit her parents Missy (Catherine Keener) and Dean (Bradley Whitford). At first, Chris reads the family’s overly-accommodating behavior as a nervous attempt to respond to their daughter’s interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead Chris to a truth that he could have never imagined.

Get Out has been nominated for Oscar® Awards for Best Picture, Best Actor (Daniel Kaluuya), Best Director (Jordan Peele), and Best Original Screenplay (Jordan Peele).

A Q&A with Writer/Director/Producer Jordan Peele will open this special Script to Screen event. The conversation will be moderated by Pollock Theater Director Matt Ryan.
