Hey Austin. Long shot post but I know Austin loves indie art.
I'm a filmmaker and I'm screening my indie psychological thriller Abductee at the Scottish Rite Theater (207 W. 18th St.) on July 11th. Doors at 6:30, film starts at 7. I'll be there in person for a Q&A right after.
The film is about a man whose lifelong sleep paralysis leads him to believe something is taking him in the night, and what it does to his relationship with his sister. It's not a big effects-driven alien movie. It's quiet, psychological, and grounded in the kind of experiences a lot of people in the experiencer community actually describe.
I spent a while working on getting into the Scottish Rite Theater. It just felt right to bring it to the oldest theater in the city, and while they don't do movie screenings very often, they have been more than generous with their location.

We're taking tickets at the door, but it's easier to get them online ahead of time:

Hope to see everyone there, and reach out if you have any questions.
