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. 

You can revisit our January conversation with de Vre here.

    Congrats to Kyle de Vre and the whole crew. Making a film like this is such a personal passion. Celebrate it! Can't wait to watch - the trailer is excellent.
