Union County – Special Screening with Producers Sean Weiner & Brad Becker-Parton

UNITED Main Cinema 

Join us for a very special screening of the new film UNION COUNTY featuring an intro and Q&A with the film’s producers Sean Weiner and Brad Becker-Parton live in-person at the UNITED. 

Will Poulter and Noah Centineo deliver pitch-perfect performances as brothers Cody and Jack Parsons, each navigating a court-mandated drug rehabilitation program in a pocket of rural Ohio hit hard by the opioid epidemic. Provided with hope for the first time since their struggles began and with the support of a tireless counselor (Annette Deao), the brothers work toward a brighter sober future. 

Poulter and Centineo blend seamlessly with a supporting cast composed predominantly of non-professional actors as they share their actual experiences, pain and optimism as they, themselves, navigate the program. Ohio-born filmmaker Adam Meeks creates a film imbued with realism for an honest, compassionate portrait of a battle being fought across America and the solidarity that flowers on its front lines.
