Doors 6:30 PM / Movie 7:30 PM

Our Opening Night film is a stylish musical biopic that explores the life of Brian Epstein, the visionary Jewish manager whose bold guidance propelled the Beatles to their meteoric rise and global stardom. Known as the “fifth Beatle,” Epstein ushered the scrappy Liverpool band from smoky backroom clubs to sold-out stadiums, but his brilliance was at times overshadowed by his own personal demons. Jacob Fortune-Lloyd (The Queen’s Gambit) delivers an incredibly raw and authentic portrayal of Epstein, a world-class disrupter long before anyone ever started using that terminology.  Featuring a wonderfully nostalgic soundtrack and the kaleidoscopic backdrop of the Swinging Sixties in London, Midas Man delivers a wonderfully bittersweet portrayal of the man who made sure the entire world came to know the Beatles!

Official Selection: Atlanta Jewish Film Festival, Miami Jewish Film Festival
