Tamera is a Movies and TV Interview Editor for Collider. She mostly works behind the scenes for the site, and still can’t believe she gets to write and edit for all the things she loves.

In her free time, she’s hoarding recipes she’ll never make, writing, and rewatching Friends, Gilmore Girls, or her favorite comfort scary movies.

Collider is proud to announce that we’re teaming up with IFC to offer Los Angeles an advanced opportunity to see The Stunt Driver, starring Jay Baruchel, ahead of its official release date this month. The movie, which celebrated a premiere as part of this year’s Toronto International Film Festival lineup, reunites Baruchel with ***Goon ***writer-director Michael Dowse in a comedy drama based on the true underdog story of **Ken Carter **(Jay Baruchel), the world champion stunt driver who, in the seventies, tried to jump a mile over the St. Lawrence River in a rocket car.

If you’re in the Los Angeles area or have the means to get there, don’t miss out on this early screening, which is taking place on Thursday, September 17th. The screening is located at the AMC Century City and will begin at 7:00 p.m. Our own Steve Weintraub will moderate the Q&A after the movie. Read on for more information on how you can enter for your chance to win free tickets to this advanced screening and Q&A.

We guarantee you don’t want to miss out on this special fan event! Come see The Stunt Driver in theaters early, plus an exclusive Q&A conversation with Dowse. This event will go fast, so don’t wait to claim your tickets! For your chance to win free tickets to the event, hit this link to provide us with your email address. The theater will fill up quickly, so grab your seats before they’re gone. Be sure to let us know if you’d like to bring a guest with you, and RSVP as soon as possible to secure your spot.

The Stunt Driver is set in the mid-70s and recounts the true and incredible underdog story of Canada’s Ken Carter, the world champion stunt driver, who battles personal demons and public doubt to attempt what everyone considers impossible — a mile-long jump across the St. Lawrence River in a rocket-powered car. The movie also stars Ed Helms (The Office) as Dick Keller, the car’s designer and technician, and Ben Foster**, **as Evel Knievel. In the vein of Free Solo or Fitzcarraldo, this is an underdog story about one man’s singular blinding passion to complete the impossible, to finish what he started. What’s both funny and tragic is that his mile-long jump, to anyone with two eyes, is completely impossible.

The Stunt Driver opens in theaters on September 25. Check back with Collider for more special event screenings.
