Guests are invited to celebrate the launch of a locally filmed and produced movie, “The Retailer,” at HiJinx Brewing Company in Allentown on Wednesday, April 30, 2025 from 6 p.m. – 10 p.m. “The Retailer” short made its first run on the independent film circuit and captured several awards in 2022. Now, a feature film length version is scheduled to start filming at locations around the Lehigh Valley in the next few weeks. The April launch party will feature movie swag, raffles, prizes, food and drink specials, and live music. There will also be opportunities to meet the cast and production team. “The Retailer,” classified as a horror thriller and dark comedy film, is about a vengeful young woman (played by actress Nia Vega) who works in a coffee shop and extracts revenge after receiving multiple customer complaints that forced her to attend anger management classes to keep her job. Actress Syd Stauffer plays the role of a highly regarded therapist who is tasked by the coffee shop to help their troubled employee deal with her anger issues in the workplace. After spending time with the employee, the therapist begins to discover similarities with her new patient’s aggressive behavioral traits and the plot takes an unexpected twist.
