In honor of Juneteenth, The Feature Presentation, DJ Suss One and Magnolia Productions are presenting a VIP screening of 40 ACRES. Taking place at the Regal Union Square Theater the elite VIP guest list is sure to fill the theater with black joy, high energy, and pride, providing a beautiful aesthetic on the backdrop of what critics are saying is an amazing film.

40 ACRES, is post-apocalyptic thriller written and directed by music video veteran R.T. Thorne. Thorne who will be making his film debut, first premiered 40 Acres during the 49th Annual Toronto International Film Festival. Led by Hailey (Danielle Deadwyler, “The Piano Lesson”) a mother and ex-military soldier and Galen (Michael Greyeyes, “Fear The Walking Dead”), 40 ACRES, takes place in a post civil war world where a family has learned to thrive in the middle of nowhere and must protect their 40-acre farm against cannibalistic raiders.

A lifelong horror movie buff, DJ SussOne has transformed his passion for film into a thriving business venture with The Feature Presentation. From an early age, SussOne was captivated by the suspense and thrill of scary movies, which inspired him to dive deeper into the entertainment world beyond music. Through The Feature Presentation, DJ Suss One collaborates with top movie theaters and major production companies to host exclusive VIP movie premieres before their official release.

At his latest highly anticipated premiere, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, I had the opportunity to sit down with DJ Suss One to discuss his lifelong love of movies and how film has influenced his journey as a DJ, radio personality, and emerging film producer. What followed was an insightful conversation about creativity, culture, and the powerful intersection of music and cinema.

DJ Suss One sits down with Adavie Gutierrez at the private screening off Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning at the IPIC Theatre. We talk about his love for Horror films and how being a thriller buff have impacted him as a person, DJ, and aspiring film producer and director.
