Reminders: 'Irregular,' filmed at Sophie's, make its world premiere on Sunday

"Irregular" — an independent feature filmed largely inside Sophie's on Fifth Street — makes its world premiere on Sunday at the Chain Film Festival. 

The first screening at 6 p.m. is sold out... and so organizers added a second at 8 p.m.

Directed and co-written by Sophie's bartender (and photographer and filmmaker) Kyle de Vre, the 80-minute film unfolds through a series of barroom vignettes set over random Tuesdays, populated by quirky regulars, curious newcomers and the occasional unexplained smell. (Trailer here.)

As we noted in our January Q&A with de Vre, who also plays The Bartender, "Irregular" is a love letter to both Sophie's and the East Village. 

Find the screening details at this link. The Chain Theatre is at 312 W. 36th S., between Eighth and Ninth Streets.
