Jason Genao, Jack Henry Robbins, Liza Treyger & Joyelle Nicole Johnson Join Indie Whodunit ‘Regulars'
EXCLUSIVE: Jason Genao (Logan), Jack Henry Robbins (Nepo Baby), Liza Treyger (Night Owl) and Joyelle Nicole Johnson (Love Joy) have joined Regulars, an indie whodunit marking the feature debut feature of Tessa Greenberg, who wrote the script with Melba Silwany.
The film is set on Halloween night in a Brooklyn dive bar, where a group of misfit regulars — led by a Dominican-American bar owner — get trapped and uncover a murder, spiraling into a chaotic, culture-soaked whodunnit where everyone's got secrets… and everyone's a suspect.
