The screenplay is loosely based on Spielberg's early life, as told through an original story of the fictional character Sammy Fabelman, a young aspiring filmmaker. The film stars Gabriel LaBelle as Sammy, along with an ensemble cast that includes Michelle Williams, Paul Dano, Seth Rogen, and Judd Hirsch. It is dedicated to the memories of Spielberg's real-life parents Arnold Spielberg and Leah Adler.

Immediately following the screening, Deadline's chief film critic Pete Hammond, who can also be seen on KCET's Must See Movies, moderated a Q&A with the film's star Gabriel LaBelle.

Listen to the full Q&A from the screening below.

The long-running in-person film series returns in October to the historic Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, while the popular virtual series continues on Eventive, a technology platform designed specifically to enhance the online film viewing experience.
