Windy City debut
at MIFF’s
First Tuesday
monthly event
The Midwest Independent Film Festival presents the Chicago premiere of Same Boat, as part of the festival’s First Tuesdays screening series, directed by Chris Roberti and written by Chris Roberti and Josh Itzkowitz.
Same Boat is the story of a time traveling assassin who inadvertently falls in love with the woman he’s been sent to kill… while on a cruise ship. The film is about being bored with your job, trying to escape it, destroying your life completely, and finding a way to fix it again, love, loyalty, integrity, and friendship. And, it’s about how kindness is more powerful than destruction.
Fun fact: the film was secretly shot aboard an actual cruise.

A Q&A session with the filmmakers will immediately follow the 7:30 p.m. film screening, followed by an after party.
