"The Beta Test" is the 23rd annual Sidewalk Closing Night film! Afterall, we love a mean-spirited satirical dark-as-heck comedy... and Virginia Newcomb. Plus we're also pretty fond of writer-director-actor-extraordinaire Jim Cummings. What happens when a happily (?) married, ladder-climbing Hollywood agent receives a mysterious letter containing a proposition for an anonymous sexual encounter with an "admirer"? Things get super out of hand. Packed with murder, mystery, horror tropes, hackers, Weinstein references, neurotic humor and compulsive teeth whiting, "The Beta Test" is strange, funny, occasionally borderline-surreal and wholly original. - Rachel Morgan
