Chili Finger (SXSW)

Chili Finger is a world premiere comedy film screening at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema South Lamar in Austin. This pitch-black comedy features an all-star cast including Judy Greer, Sean Astin, Bryan Cranston, and John Goodman.

The film follows Jessica Lipki, a woman whose life takes an unexpected turn when she discovers a severed finger in her bowl of chili at a fast-food chain. Seeing an opportunity to regain control of her stagnating life, she blackmails the restaurant for $100,000. However, her scheme catches the attention of Blake Junior, the plutocratic founder of the chain, who sends his ex-marine buddy Dave to investigate the truth behind the incident.

Directed by Edd Benda and Stephen Helstad, this crime comedy promises to surprise audiences with its darkly humorous take on a bizarre premise. With an exceptional ensemble cast and sharp writing, Chili Finger offers a wild ride of chaos and comedy.

This is an official SXSW event at the iconic Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar location. Check with the theater for badge, wristband, and priority access information for this exclusive premiere screening.
