Strange Angels
Brookline native Jameson Quinn will premiere the pilot for his new boxing drama at The Lindsay.
August 21, 2025 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
The Lindsay’s first Emerging Filmmakers Showcase of August is a locally filmed television pilot set in Pittsburgh’s boxing community.
Strange Angels is a screen adaptation of Lawrenceville native Ernest Keegan’s 2018 novel of the same name. Brookline’s Jameson Quinn directed this 39-minute project that will hopefully serve as the premiere episode for a full TV season.
His pilot will premiere at The Lindsay on Thursday, Aug. 21, at 7 p.m. Tickets are free, but RSVPs are recommended in advance due to space limitations. Quinn will be on hand for a Q&A following the screening.
Christina Chickis stars as Marylou Caponi, a boxing gym owner navigating a sordid world and her complicated feelings for Dan McClain (Quinn), her head trainer and a former fighter. The cast also includes Jose Caraballo, Andrew Diskin, Christine Mancini, Ryan Covert, Jess Uhler, and Eddie Holliday.
Quinn spent his formative years in Brookline writing, playing ice hockey and competing as an amateur boxer. He is now living his dream as a professional actor and filmmaker. In addition to regularly appearing in regional independent projects, Quinn also often finds work in locally filmed Hollywood fare like The Dark Knight Rises, One Dollar and Mayor of Kingstown.
Keegan graduated from Peabody High School in 1965 and joined the Air Force a year later. After finishing his military stint in 1969, Keegan worked for Bell of Pennsylvania—now Verizon Pennsylvania—until his retirement in 2002. Keegan was an amateur boxer in the 1960s, and his knowledge of that scene helped inspire and inform Strange Angels.
