Trial 54
Watch local filmmaker Davis Rohrer’s new sci-fi thriller—and much more— at The Lindsay!
August 28, 2025 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
The Lindsay’s second Emerging Filmmakers Showcase of August includes the public premiere of an exciting new sci-fi thriller.
Trial 54 is the latest project from Pittsburgh-based filmmaker Davis Rohrer and his production company, The 6 Shop Films. It comes with a tantalizing tagline: “The revival of the soul is possible.”
That film will be one of a few Rohrer-produced shorts screening at The Lindsay on Thursday, Aug. 28, at 7 p.m. The lineup will also include showings of shorts The Gray Sea and Recurrence, as well as a sneak peak at Rohrer’s upcoming docuseries about West Virginia University’s football team.
Tickets are free, but RSVPs are recommended in advance due to space limitations. Rohrer will be on hand following those screenings for an in-person Q&A.
Trial 54 stars Molly Miller as Sarah, a participant in an experiment designed to help regain memories. As outside forces close in, the truth of what this trial is actually hoping to prove unfolds—along with the ambitions of her doctor, Miles Heston (Jack Erdie). The Trial 54 cast includes Mickey Miller and Natalya Wood.
Rohrer is a New Jersey native, WVU graduate and military veteran. He has filmed many advertisements, news packages, documentaries, training videos, live events and more during his 13 years in the Army National Guard. In addition to short films, Rohrer also has experience filming music-related content in West Virginia, New York and Washington, D.C. He hopes to eventually film a feature-length Trial 54 in Pittsburgh.
