Film Independent Members, you and a guest are invited to join us for a theatrical screening of Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, including an in-person conversation with the filmmakers.

In the charming town of Willowbrook, Kansas, hairdresser Gail Daughtry is engaged to her devoted high school sweetheart, Tom. Her life takes a turn when a trip to a book signing leads to Tom meeting – and sleeping – with his “celebrity pass.” Reeling from the betrayal, Gail impulsively joins her friend Otto on a trip to Los Angeles, where a psychic convinces Gail that the only way to save her marriage is to “even the scales” with her own celebrity pass: Jon Hamm. Thus begins an epic journey through Tinseltown as Gail and Otto join forces with a talent agency assistant, a paparazzo, and actor John Slattery, all in the search for Hamm. Along the way, they collide with celebrities and are hunted by a group of Italian assassins as they get ever closer to finding the elusive star.

From Sony Pictures Classics, Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Tape premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival and will be released theatrically on July 10.
