The Beverly Theater brings indie cinema to downtown Las Vegas with a screening of "The Puffy Chair," the 2005 mumblecore dramedy that helped launch the Duplass Brothers into the filmmaking spotlight. This low-budget road trip film follows Josh and his girlfriend Emily as they attempt to deliver a worn La-Z-Boy recliner to Josh's father for his birthday, picking up Josh's brother Rhett along the way. What starts as a simple gesture spirals into a messy examination of relationships, commitment, and the gap between good intentions and reality.

Shot on digital video with a raw, naturalistic style, the film captures the awkwardness and authenticity of modern romance in a way that feels both uncomfortably real and surprisingly funny. The Beverly Theater's intimate 150-seat setup makes it an ideal venue for this kind of character-driven indie film, where the small-scale storytelling benefits from a cozy theatrical environment. The venue's excellent acoustics ensure you'll catch every mumbled line and uncomfortable pause that defines the mumblecore movement.
