Rooftop Films, in partnership with Time Out New York, presents a special sneak preview screening of the 2014 Sundance Film Festival sensation “Ping Pong Summer”, preceded by Cruising Electric a film by Brumby Boylston, on Saturday, May 30th at the roof of the Old American Can Factory in Brooklyn. The event will be filled with ‘80s rock and hip hop – Including a performance by the legendary John Cafferty and The Beaver Brown Band.
Ping Pong summer will be released in theaters nationwide June 6th by Gravitas Ventures.

It is the summer of 1985. Teens all over the country think Run DMC is totally bitchin’. On the soft drink line, a “Suicide” (a dash of every soda) is the most popular carbonated beverage. Cliques are very real and ping pong is the most fly thing ever. Rad Miracle (Marcello Conte), a dweeby 13-year-old white boy, arrives with his family in Ocean City, Maryland, and is ready to take it all in.

With Ping Pong Summer, writer/director Michael Tully (Septien) evokes vibrant childhood memories of embarrassing parents, first crushes, bullies, and the adolescent sense of limitless possibility. For Rad, those possibilities include becoming a gnarly ping pong player and a fly breakdancer. But it isn’t until Teddy (Myles Massey), an equally dorky vacationer, shows Rad the local FunHub – stuffed with arcade games, slushies, and ping pong – that Rad finally begins to emerge from his shell. With $20 (gifted by mom), a ping pong buddy and the attention of a pretty girl, he is stoked to take on the world to the max. But when local bully Lyle Ace (Joseph McCaughtry) shows up with his dipstick crony demanding amends for eyeing his girl and playing at his table, things don’t just get real…they get hellacious.
