‘Little Rich Lives’
The Lindsay’s latest Emerging Filmmakers Showcase is a dramedy about friendship and identity.
July 14 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
The Lindsay’s next Emerging Filmmakers Showcase is a locally shot dramedy with big ideas.
Little Rich Lives hails from Squirrel Hill-based filmmaker Eli Zazu. This 50-minute feature follows two best friends with opposing dispositions on a journey of self-discovery over one particularly eventful night.
Zazu’s film will premiere at The Lindsay on Monday, July 14, at 7 p.m. Tickets are free, but RSVPs are recommended. Though it’s not required, Zazu would love if all attendees dressed in formal attire. The film will be followed by an in-person Q&A with Zazu, stars Kain Davis and McKenna Howell, director of photography Steven Croner, and first assistant director Sophia Beigi.
Davis stars as Richie Hilton, a privileged but insecure aspiring real estate professional. Richie’s best friend, Tanner (Robert Starzynski), is more playful and grounded. Tanner is generally amused by Richie’s behavior, but his erratic tendencies have increasingly become a source of exasperation.
The main cast also includes Howell, David Ogrodowski, Alyssa Wenzel and Mya Favata. Ogrodowski, a prolific Pittsburgh actor, also produced Zazu’s feature directorial debut.
Zazu has been directing, writing and editing films for the last eight years. The Milwaukee native moved to Pittsburgh in 2022 and quickly began churning out short films like Purple and 80 Grand. Zazu finds purpose in connecting with people and working closely with actors to bring his stories to life.
