Starring Shia LaBeouf, Dakota Johnson and newcomer Zack Gottsagen, The Peanut Butter Falcon is an inspiring and heartfelt slice of timeless Americana that took home the 2019 Audience Award for Narrative Spotlight at the SXSW Film Festival.”
A spokesman for PSDS said: “We’d love to see PSDS members, friends and supporters there. We really hope the local Haywards Heath community will get behind this special event too. We are hugely grateful to PSDS member and wannabe film maker Ross whose fantastic introduction to the film at our first screening has inspired us to host a second screening, this time in his home town where his dad Steve has been working hard to make the screening possible. Come and join us in celebrating the work of Zack Gottsagen, an inspirational actor who made his debut in The Peanut Butter Falcon. His co-stars describe working with Zack as one of the most incredible film and life events.”
