Screening of 'Primetime', Lance Oppenheim's fiction film with Robert Pattinson as Chris Hansen, part of Create Studios' Sofa Screenings.
Primetime screens at Create Studios on Thursday 26 November, part of the Sofa Screenings programme. It's a fiction film from Lance Oppenheim, who's spent his career in documentaries and here steps into narrative for the first time. Robert Pattinson stars as Chris Hansen, the host of the real-life show To Catch a Predator, and the story draws from true events in 2006. When a high-stakes operation goes fatally wrong, Hansen's veneered dream of fame curdles into a nightmare.
It's described as a searing look at the cutthroat nature of 2000s network television and the moral sacrifice that comes with getting to the top. The film runs 1 hour 49 minutes and carries a BBFC 15 certificate. It's being shown as part of Create Studios' Sofa Screenings, which sit within 'Stories of Home', a BFI and National Lottery-funded project bringing accessible cinema to communities across Swindon and Wiltshire and creating inclusive spaces for connection and conversation.
