Newark filmmaker's "Bar Study" debuts at Riverfront

A 40-minute short film shot in Newark, Wilmington, Bellefonte and Philadelphia will get its first screening at the Penn Cinema Riverfront (401 S. Madison St., Wilmington) this weekend.

Newark filmmaker Raghav Peri, 27, wrote and directed the drama.

“Bar Study” follows Rob (Philadelphia actor Mike Robinson) – a man who goes to a bar every day to study others, fascinated by fellow human beings. And it’s a fascination that may or may not end with a killing.

Part of the film was shot at Oddity Bar in Wilmington and Oddity bartender/musician Devo Devitt even appears.

The film will be shown at 7 p.m. Saturday at Penn Cinema followed by a question and answer session with Peri and the cast.

Tickets are $8. VIP tickets are also offered for $30 and $15. Proceeds from the VIP tickets will go to Uplift A Child, a Maryland-based nonprofit organization that supports underprivileged children with schooling.
