Grindflicks and the Fargo Film Festival are proud to announce “Oh Hai, Mark,” an evening with special guest Greg Sestero.
The Friday, November 9, 2018 event will include screenings of Sestero’s latest films “BEST F(R)IENDS” volumes 1 & 2, followed by an on stage conversation with Sestero.
In 2003 writer/actor/director Tommy Wiseau released his masterpiece: an independent picture called “The Room.” Centered around best friends Johnny (Wiseau) and Mark (Sestero), the film explores love, betrayal, and heartbreak through Wiseau’s singular, peculiar lens. It would eventually become one of the most popular cult films of all time. The film’s legend continues to grow. In 2013 Sestero co-authored the best selling book “The Disaster Artist.” The book captured Wiseau and Sestero’s unique friendship and the bizarre process of producing “The Room.” In 2017, James Franco and Dave Franco portrayed Wiseau and Sestero in the highly acclaimed film adaptation “The Disaster Artist.”
Fifteen years later, Tommy and Greg return to the silver screen in “BEST F(R)IENDS.” Based on a series of true-to-life anecdotes sourced from two decades of shared experiences, “BEST F(R)IENDS” is a unique two-volume cinematic saga that interweaves mystery, intrigue, and more than a few dark laughs into the long-awaited reunion of the cult icons. Step into this surrealist tale and learn a lesson about friendship and loyalty.
“BEST F(R)IENDS: Volume 1” will screen at 5:15 p.m.
“BEST F(R)IENDS: Volume 2” will screen at 7:30 p.m. and will be immediately followed by a live, on-stage conversation and audience Q&A with Greg Sestero.
