The Wait is Over. We are thrilled to announce that tickets are officially on sale for the theatrical premiere of Arbor Day: The Root of Evil!
On Friday, April 24, 2026, Big Damn Films is taking over SModcastle Cinemas (owned by the legendary Kevin Smith) in Atlantic Highlands, NJ, for a night of folk horror, slasher thrills, and local legends.
Why You Can't Miss This Event: This isn't just a screening; it's a celebration of independent cinema.
The Film: Experience the anthology that critics and fans are already buzzing about—five chilling tales centering on a remote New Jersey campground where some roots should never be disturbed.
The Q&A: Stick around after the credits for a live Q&A with the creative team, including Michael Jayne, Logan Liskovec, and other cast and crew members.
Be Immortalized on Film: We want you to be a permanent part of this journey! The post-screening Q&A session will be recorded for the film’s upcoming physical release. As a special thank you for your support, every single attendee—VIP and General Admission alike—will have their name listed in the "Special Thanks" section of the official Blu-ray and DVD credits.
