Filmmaker Tony Bonacci previously appeared on the show when his short film “The Headliner” made festival rounds in 2018. Bonacci was adamant he would turn that story into a feature alongside the short’s writer, Christine Burright, and its star, Darrick Silkman.
Several years and one pandemic later, he has. Bonacci’s feature film debut, also titled “The Headliner,” premieres at 5 p.m. on Saturday, March 2 at Aksarben Cinema, part of the Omaha Film Festival’s Nebraska Spotlight program.
